Default Olivia gets a NEW Headlight

While at one of our local dealerships the Carolina Girl notices a nice looking Custom Dynamics headlight on the parts counter. This dealership which will remain un-named stocks a lot of CD products and they promote it as the best you can buy.

She has been hearing me complain about the fogged headlight on this bike for at least four years now. HD refused to do anything about it and I have refused to speand another dollar on an HD headlight. The one reason it was not replaced sooner is because I invested $800.00 in Clearwater spots and with them who needs a headlight. They are simply AWESOME. Secondly too many of these headlights look wierd to me.

So after the parts guy that we know well gave her the sales pitch she said she it buying it. After our HOG Chapter ride yesterday I installed it and she cleaned all the chrome trim and the outer fairing all of which had a lot of bugs on them.

Fisrt impressions on look and how bright it is in the shop with lights off are good. I have not had a chance to test it on the road yet. I'll update this thread as soon as I can give my impressions.

Had that same light installed on my wife’s 13 sg in sturgis this year. She absolutely loves it. Riding at night it seems to be brighter and better than the daymaker in my cvo. I have a sneaky suspicion there will be one installed on my cvo next year 🙂

You're supposed to remove the price tag on a gift. Now you'll know what you paid for it.

But yes, I expect a detailed review and pictures posted... somewhere on the Internet, not from you.
