headlight options dual-bulb vs stock?
I came across a deal for a dual-bulb headlight from a cvo for about $40, and was wondering if its worth upgrading to it from a stock one? Does the dual halogen light offer much improvement? Or should I just wait a year or two and buy a daymaker?

The dual bulb does give off more light, especially on high beam and looks better than the stock headlight. When finding these deals remember that you need to buy a wiring harness (part# 73272-11) to use the dual bulb and it costs $80-100. The entire dual bulb kit including headlight, mounting ring, and harness is $140 from Kutter. The harness cost makes these "deals" not much of a deal unless it is included.

The dual halogen has significantly better output compared to stock. The lowbeam light distance exceeds stock and really lights up the road ahead for a single bulb. The HD catalog has some comparison charts for stock, halogen, and LED lights. For $40 I say your getting it for almost nothing, new off the shelf is over $175. Make sure the wiring harness is included and still might be a great deal if you have to buy the wiring harness over the counter.

I'd have to agree with this. I've used both the dual bulb hd-light and replaced it with the T/L LED. In addition to the wiring harness you will also require a different bucket for the Dual Head Lamp to mount into your fairing. If I remember correctly the Dual Head Light is deeper.
