Default led headlight

Anybody running the LED headlight on a Softail Custom or a bike that has the 5 3/4 73273-11 Zanotti has it for 326.36
I have the Custom Dynamics 7" and there 4" spots on the Ultra but they don't have a 5 3/4 yet.

I've been wondering about it as well after reading the touring threads of the led headlight.

I have the moco's led passing lamps. I dont like them, they give a very white cheap looking glare... The front headlamp has the same tone.

I wonder why does custom dynamics das theirs as four and a half inches when the oem ones from HD are four point o.

Mimo.

If you want illumination, go with an HID system. Nothing compares.

I got my HD LED healamp for my Ultra yesterday, but had no way of getting it home on my Springer...hope to get it installed tonight; just in time for rain...crap.

I am stoked about the headlamp. Yep, was pricey, but I don't do chrome on my Ultra...soooo

From my experience with LED headlights, you don't want them. They look very bright and will make you that much more visible. But, as far as you are concerned, it doesn't really push the light out there. LED just doesn't light up the road like a stock headlamp. Seriously, I felt as though I were riding around in the dark for the most part. Could be I had a cheap one. I don't know. Don't remember the manufacturer, etc. All I know is "NEVER AGAIN".

Um, what?

Watch the video and there is a rather large thread in the touring section on this headlamp.

Custom Dynamics sells one too, but I don't have the link for it.

I agree. Switched out stock for HID on a few sportbikes and noticed a huge difference in range...
