Default Road Glide Lighting

I've wanted to add some extra lighting to my bike, but since I have fairing lowers installed, not sure where or how to install auxillary lighting. I've updated the rear of the bike with the airwing led lighting kit, but not sure what can be done for the forward lighting.

Anybody with a Road Glide with fairing lowers come up with an option?

I have HIDs in the front -- they light up road nicely

Motolights are great... if pricy...
you can take some "P-clamps" and mount the larger Kury "silver bullets" on the outside of the fairing, just above the highway pegs (if you have them.

I don't have the lowers, so I went with the HD-fog lamps... which aren't for the Road Glide.... but I didn't know that, until I read the directions.... which was after I had installed them and they were working

Moto lights here also...more of a flood type light though, really lights the sides up and fills in nicely when you flip over to your high beams. I'd like to hear from someone with the Kury's they really look sharp IMHO! Of course with the Moto lights the Batwing boys can't say your light won't turn with your wheel any more LOL!

I bought the Kuryakyn Road Glide Driving Lights. They replace the Factory Turn Signals with theirs. Not bolt to the Harley Front Turn Signals. Retail they are very Pricey, $399.99 MSRP. But I found a pair on eBay for $299.

I have had the original bulbs blow after 1 year. I found that regular H3 bulbs are the same as that are in them. And put out better light. I am very pleased with the look and the extra light they put out when it gets dark.

Here are some pictures of mine with lowers.









Kuryakyn also has Fork mounted lights.

I added a pair of PIAA driving lights by drilling mounting holes in the lower part of the fairing, Light up the road real well. Not cheap, but worth it. Wired them into high beam circuit through a relay, so I can have them go on and off with my high beams, or just leave them off.

I like the looks and design of your driving lights.....and am considering
these for my R/G....
Does the brightness of the driving lights interfere with the effectiveness
of the directional lights ??

I guess what I'm concerned about is the driving lights 'outshining' the
directional lights.......and oncoming traffic not seeing the directionals working.
