Ok, I'm getting closer to finishing my FLHTP project. Previous thread discussed a suspension upgrade. This one focuses on a lighting upgrade. The intent of this upgrade will be for additional lighting for long-distance night riding (Iron Butt). My current illumination lighting includes a Custom Dynamics 7" TRUBEAMŽ w/ H4-TOUR & Hi-Lo-Halo Adapters and MotoLight High Output LED Light Set – Caliper Mount.
I thought I had settled on a pair of Clearwater Ericas, then started looking at their Sevina or Dixi lights, but then started looking at the more economical Denali D7's. However, the D7's apparently will not play well with my bike that came with an OEM LED headlight. I'd prefer that these additional lights switch to full power when I switch to high beam.
Although, I also wonder if the Clearwaters will even play well with my bike when I switch to high beam as they also offer this note: "*Some bikes with LED headlights will not have the high beam feature."
Anyone have experience with any of these lights on their bike? Other options? My primary goal is the maximum downrange light, price... not so much.
I added the Custom Dynamics Pro Beam fog lamps to my ‘21 SG. What I actually like about them is that they wire to the bike with their own power circuit and don’t shutoff when the high beams are active. I was considering the Clearwater Darla that mounts to the front fender bolts but I’m happy with these.
I am removing my Custom Dynamics headlight ($230 product, entry level) and going with Baja Designs. In other words, going nuclear. Went with the LP6, received it but not it yet installed - that thing must weigh 3 pounds and requires a kit for the bat wing or shark nose. Almost $1,000 for one and $1,500 for the Road Glide. Call Mike at Get Lowered Cycles to see if in stock. Will keep you posted.
