I would not waste my money on a headlight. They are all limited by two things.

1) They meet DOT standards.
2) They are plug and play and they are limited to the power draw the bike provides.

I'm running Baja LP6 set up on my RG CVO and it is far better than any other headlight I have owned.That includes two HD' and Custom Dynamics.

That said it does NOT compare to aftermarket spots such as Clearwater Erica's.You can also add amber covers to these that make you really stand out.

I ran the auxiliary Erica's on my 2017 CVO Limited for four year and they are freaking amazing.

You have a volume control that allows you to set them an any intensity you wish and they stay there on low beam. Hit the high beam and these things turn darkness into sunshine for a mile ahead of you.

I wish I had gone that route again before buying the LP6's.

If you really really bright!

For the price, I have a Sunpie on my Sportster, really bright and good beam pattern, although some have had issue with the pattern.

Clearwater lights as auxiliary you can't go wrong there.

Custom Dynamics Adaptive II headlight works well for me.

I’m using LP6’s in my RGU, you will **** people off, they’re bright. When passing cats at night you’ll see an X-ray of the occupants skull lol.

My vote is for JWSpeaker and like all headlights they need to be adjusted correctly.
The idea is to see and be seen not blind them so as to have them swerve into you or the vehicle behind you.

With exceedingly blinding headlights, I can't tell if riders are waving until it's too late to return the wave.
