Eastern Performance.
I run a MoCo LED in it.
I would buy it again.

Current softails, dynas and sportys come with a 5-3/4" bucket (guess you could call it 6"), but the styling is somewhat limited. I put an ebay 80w 6000lm H4 LED in mine, flipped the rear reflector upside down, and have a very good beam pattern. bright as sin.

So anyway welcome back- how long were you alive for previously?

yeh- stockers are more of the minimalist bobber / retro style buckets. I'd probably look at some of the different aftermarket buckets on ebay. search ebay for "billet 5 3 4 headlight"

saw these daymaker clone inserts that fit the small OE buckets- seems pretty good at 3600lm high beam. the real daymakers are 4500lm.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Fits-5-3...n/361413254498

any led headlight with less than 3000lm is worthless for the added expense. For example, the Truck Lite insert is no brighter than a DOT halogen lamp. But they designed it that way to meet strict DOT req's.

This is a 5 3/4 Headwinds. I think it would look great on a night train too.

Sweet lookin' Breakout- that's a nice style of bucket. How do you like the SE 204 cams, have you upgraded your belt drive pulleys yet to go with it? I'm about to do cams next now that I have the PV Target Tune installed and operating. the 204' were on my short list.

Thanks

love the 204. Have not done the belt or pulley yet. Will wait to do any of that until I can put new wheels on her.

cool, thanks- what wheels you thinking of going with? you don't need to change belt, just the pulleys. there's a sticky at top of this forum area with all the info- it's basically like dropping a set of lead shoes off the bike. significant improvement in speed at relatively minor cost.

I've got my eye on several different wheels. Going for something very similar to what you have on your bike.
