get that thing out of the bike and send it back.

 

Haha. Yes we did. He really wants LED lighting. He had purchased that kit before DK came out with theirs. Now we are trying to figure out if it was the kit or his bike. He doesn't want to attemp again and fail also with a different kit

 

I've got the HD Daymaker on my Nightster and Kuryakyn LED's front/rear as well as the HD Signal LED mirrors. I like the Daymaker a lot. Really lights up the road. Night and day difference.

 

lol, this is kind of an "anti-daymaker" thread

 

I don't think anybody is denying that the daymaker is a great lighting upgrade because it is. I personally wasn't willing to pay for a light that could be made into $400 doorstop if an errant thrown rock hit and busted it not to mention it's not a serviceable unit and only has a 1 year warranty. I replaced nearly all my light and I'm about to buy the Custom Dynamics tail light assembly for a complete led lighting upgrade cost of around $470.00.

 

Right. That's why the thread was started. And we ended up doing the same thing.

I respect the DM but, i don't like the sealed build and the extortion. $ isnt an issue, i spent more on my oil cooler setup.

i specifically wanted a bulb/h4 over a sealed unit. i dont believe in sealed units. Just did the same to my wrangler.

Bit of a scuffle there too... don't even get me started on lazy LED light bars everyone is duct-taping to their rigs.


Everyone is dressing for the ride, nobody is dressing for the fall.

 

The HD Daymaker, made by JW Speaker, isn't even the second generation headlight , the EVO 2-

Which can be bought for around $320

 

Yeah, i said that in the first post, called them jl speakers. daymaker is second gen now thought. Harley replaced the day maker first gen in less than a year after wild failures and complaints. They even quietly replaced quite a few first generation units with the new ones upon complaint.

The DM is is great its just not worth 420 or whatever molestation hd is currently attempting.

The speakers are same, if not better, quality without the monster markup. my only beef is that they are sealed and not serviceable.

 

We are done with our testing. They will be available on the website within the next week or so.

To give you an idea of the difference, the headlight is our Drop-in LED bulb, the aux light on the left side of the bike is our drop-in LED Aux bulb, and the light on the right side of the bike is a brand new HD aux bulb.

 

I know the last post was over a year ago but I just installed DK's H4 LED light today. I had no issues installing it. When you go to pull the pins out of the connector, you'll need a small flat head screwdriver but they pop out pretty easy. I used dielectric grease on the pins after crimping them on a little tighter then used a small piece of electric tape to keep them secure. Then used heatshrink over each connection. Everything pops right into place pretty easy. The light is bright during the day.
Haven't tested it at night...yet. Will find out on my way home tonight
