Question HD reflector Daymaker headlight

I tried searching, and when I did, all I found was the TL Phase 7. Does ANYONE have the HD reflector Daymaker on their touring bike? Also, the matching aux lights? Pics/vids of them on the bike and at night time? I KNOW for a fact that I want to upgrade, I'm just not sure what style I want to go with (projector or reflector). I've seen pics of the HD projector Daymaker and the Phase 7, but I'm interested in the HD model too. Thanks all.

Thanks a bunch bud! Can't believe I didn't see this thread when searching earlier. Although I was in a hurry and had my son in my ear lol. Looks like the reflector daymaker is the way to go! :-)

After countless days of reading threads here and on other forums...I ordered mine last week. They should be here next week from Kutter HD. I'm 100% sure I made the right choice

I replaced my stock projector LED with the reflector LED. Much better light distribution for me, especially on low beam. I still wish the high beam was spread out more and not such a concentrated beam right down the middle.

Can you post pics or a video of the light beam from rider's perspective? Low and high beam please? I'm really interested in seeing how it looks and lights up the road.

This is a video with the Phase 7 setup and I think would be similar to the HD setup or at least will give you some idea from the riders point of view. The big difference is that the video is also shot using Motolights. If you look in the video description you will see a link with the stock lighting and Motolights. The camera is not capable of capturing the amount of light that the LED lighting provides.

+1.. also when leaning into curves with the projector style, 1 end of your beam is talking to ET, the other to the snakes in the ditch and you can't see chit around the curve. Not a good combination in the TX hill country where Axis Deer run rampart. The reflector setup does not do this.
