While visiting a French HD dealer and noticed the standard lighting on the Trip-Glide and optional on the Touring bikes. It's strange to see no centre low and high beam fixture on a batwing.
The bracket is entirely different by extending the head light, aka spots and LED signals further out from centre line.
Another view showing The LED driving and amber LED turn signal combo.
The head on view illustrating the headlight less batwing. Looks like a derby cover.
Close up of chrome plate in place of a glass fixture.
These dual headlight fixtures where very intense when turned on.
Lighting regulations in Europe are different to the USA, with such things as amber only flashers, amber rear side reflectors and other things, but even I haven't seen a set-up like that here in the UK!
i was told its to do with european law.the two spot lamps are classed as head lamps an the main headlamp does not work because an trike in europe is
classed as a car an you only allow two head lamps.
Those would be a cool replacement for the spots here in the U.S.
hmmmmmmmm.....
Pair of 5 3/4" HD Daymakers & a chrome headlight mount......might just work.
I was also thinking of that, but unfortunately the pot is larger and the diameter of the lens is slightly bigger. Even the pot to base support seems to be propitiatory to this configuration. Having said that the entire assembly will fit in its entirety on a Rushmore front end. For a good price of course.
The LED lens for the front and rear bullet lights are identical to the standard N A bikes, but again there was a catch. A buyer was required to purchase the entire bullet assembly for a small price of 400.00.
I haven't given up on the signals and will be looking at them more closely when I travel to Monaco in a couple of days.

I have noticed that the front end of a Spyder is similar to ours.

At first I thought it was a custom, but here is another one. As mentioned it must be related to a law.

I agree entirely, although I wouldn't be surprised if it is a French law! I haven't seen a H-D trike here in the UK recently but will keep my eyes open now, to see if ours are the same. Certainly custom-built trikes come with central headlights, saw one only a couple of days ago.
