there is just a heavier duty mounting ring that holds the light onto the fairing or headlamp mounting location, it hs so much higher in quality than the factory mounted light, this light uses 2 bulbs, a 35 watt and a 55 watt light, for mine, I upgraded to dual 55 watt bulbs, had to bend the tab on the bulb to make the larger fit.... they are each equivelent to 110 watts each in light output without overloading the wiring or charging system, I also upgraded my passing lights to 55 watt draw with 100 watt lighing that is bright white to match.... the front of my Ultra is almost like it's own light show, I ride often during the night returning from long out of town rides, feel much safer seeing and being seen late at night...

Good Light for the $s invested.

We went one step further than gene01 and added yellow 55w motolights mounted on the calipers of the CopGlide

The yellow fills in the holes the white light may produce on the edges of the white light pattern. This is an old rallye trick used by the Swedes when they were winning everything in sight in the late 60s and early 70s.

A bit pricey, but as has been stated, better to have tooooo much light than not enough.

Good Luck

I installed one on my bike about a month ago, but I haven't had the chance to try it out at night yet.

Install was very easy, looks great, and hopefully works great.

I had one of those on my 99UC. With the stock bulbs, I was disappointed in it.It didn't really seem to light up the road any better than the stock headlight. I never tried different bulbs, maybe they would be better. Looked nice though. Ken

I really like the looks of it. I am very satisfied with the light output and it is much more visible in daylight than the stock headlight on an '03. Got the matching running lights and it really improved looks of Ultra.
