Default 7" LED Headlight - BLACK

Manufacturer - JW Speaker. They make the $524.95 chrome HD version HERE.
Glass lens/cast aluminum housing
APS link HERE
APS contact: Ben Garfunkel 858-270-4164

Rugged solid state LEDs withstand shock/vibration
Long-lasting LEDs mean never having to replace another bulb again!
4-year limited warranty
Brighter/whiter in color with superior light pattern over halogen bulbs. Compared to yellow light of traditional halogen bulb, the LED lamp produces a "Daylight Color Impression" appearing more natural to the user. Headlamps feature 2 horizontal "D" shaped lenses that focus light into a pool in front of the motorcycle with separate Hi/Lo projector lenses providing a focused beam of light in front. Plug directly to factory harness, no external ballast or complicated wire harness required.

I called APS since they are local to me and was quoted $650 for an 8700 model headlamp. I was hoping they would be less than HD but it was $100 more.

Is the $524 price you mention above the HD price or is that what APS said they would sell you this black one for?

HD doesnt have black one offered yet, may be waiting to see how well the silver ones sell, but if they did offer the black I'd be real tempteed to pay HD's price, especially if you could get the auxillary lights smoked

The $524 is for the Harley customized version of the Model 8700, with the silver back. It may look odd, but you will get used to it and even learn to love it when you see how well this lights up the road! I have the LED headlamp and passing lamps, and no other vehicle I have been near on the road with me comes close to having either the same quantity nor quality of light that I do now. Semi trucks, cars, vans, many of which are HID equipped, it doesn't matter. Even a few cars with LED lamps themselves can't compete... the Harley LED setup rules the well-lit road! These things are incredible! IMHO, worth every penny.
