I'm decided on the Truck Lite. I found one on E-Bay for $164.44/free shipping. I also have $25.67 in E-Bay bucks so it drops down to $138.00 and some change. I'll give a review at the beginning of next month........ I'm sure the Daymaker reflector is great and all but at double the cost? I'd rather spend that on something else.......... ride safe Men.

I put the HD Daymaker Reflector in along with Custom Dynamic's 'Dynamic Ringz' on my '13 SG. Headlight is great. Much more side visibility that the original Daymaker when comparing it side by side. Very wide beam at night. It has more LED's than the TL 7. IMO more expensive but worth it.

I saw a Road King coming at me in the opposite direction about 8am this morning with about 25 feet seperation between the opposing lanes. It had LED reflectors in both head and passing lights with the headlight on low beam. The thing was so bright I couldn't tell it was a RK until it was nearly on top of me. These are the ones to have.

Default Daymaker light

Don't know much about the Truck Light but I had the Daymaker headlight and all of the rest of the lights changed out to LED's on both my 1997 Road King and my better half's 2006 Soft Tail Deuce. We don't ride much at night but we both feel much better with the brightness during the day (can't trust Georgia drivers). Our friends used to tell us that her light was not bright enough while riding. We also had our brake lights changed out to flashing lights when engaged.

I had the Daymaker on my Dyna and have the Trucklite on my SG. I don't see any difference between the two and they both suck during the day. That's one of the reasons I have driving lights.
