Default Best way to make the front of my bike visible without breaking the bank?
i am really close to getting my dyna wide glide back on the road. I really want to make the front look modern with led’s and also to help make me more visible. What are some options without breaking my bank account? Thanks

I would start with an LED headlight (they can be had on amazon for under 50 bucks now), and custom dynamics front turn signal inserts. They light up white LED when running and turn to amber when signal is turned on. They reuse the stock turn signals so they just pop in place of the regular bulb. This is how my bike is set up and I feel like it greatly improves being seen over that dull yellow stock headlight.

+1 on the amazon LED.

I had the HD daymaker on my softail, when I bought the 50 dollar amazon version for my dyna it looked exactly the same minus the harley logo in the middle.

"Best" is in the mind of the minder. I vote for VisonX/TruBeam, although you might be better off buying a cheap chinese knockoff on eBay, and replacing them as they burn out. And definitely get the CD turn LED turn signals, they're direct plug in replacements and they really help!

There are thousands of reflectors discarded by idiot forum members. We could all send you a couple.

Another option that hasn't yet been mentioned is a headlight flasher / modulator. Fairly common on touring bikes around here and really grabs the eye.

Not exactly what you asked, but High Viz gear also helps a lot. ie, reflective Harley orange helmet and jacket...
