Has anyone else really not experienced the sharp cut off of the light going into a corner? I was out tonight and even on familiar road the twisties are DARK due to 1) the lean of the bike 2) the sharp cut off of the LED light.
I'm running led headlight and LED running lights. Could they be out of adjustment??? Anyone fix this problem, or have a similar bike setup on a Electra Glide that isn't having the cornering problems? Help greatly appreciated.

Works for me...
Exactly the setup I've had on my last two bikes... 90/110 HL and 50W driving lights.... I will say this, after this past summer running the driving lights on a several day trip in the heat, the 50watters have started to actually melt part of the reflector above the bulb.... I'm experimenting with another solution to prevent that for the coming summer... YMMV

Yeah, I had a 100w melt the connector on my '02. Just something to keep an eye on.

I just added the Truck-lite Phase 7 headlight to my ultra. I did a comparison with another bike and the aim was way too low with the bulb change on low beam. I readjusted it and seems to work much better now, even in the twisties. I did the passing lamp mod and have the T/L passing lamps coming tomorrow as well. I figure between those always on and the headlight I should be good to go and still pull less amps.

Geeze...I must be crazy but I installed the Truck Light Phase 7 just yesterday (FLHX) and my GF and I rode around last night. I thought it was really a huge improvement over stock. The GF was even impressed. And the high beams are like the surface of the Sun...
