I have the Kuryakyns. The headlight is the "6" version.
Paid $428.31 for the three lights from PhatPerformanceparts.com
They are a sponsor here and offered some incentive/discount for members. That price included shipping...which was pretty quick to get to me.

Cant say for certain the price today still stands? I bought mine back in May. Just found my invoice in my desk drawer.

Phone them up and check...mention this forum...verify they have them in stock.

HD is getting my coins for their LED headlight. The light dispersion at night is way better to my eye. The extra coin is worth it. As cool and classy as the stock lens looks, the design thing is at least a step in to the future, or at least somewhere else that HD hasn't been design-wise. For me, every Harley accessory I've bought, from clothing to bike, simply fits dead nuts on.

You might want to see the HD LED on a bike before buying. I agree it is outstanding at night however you need to be aware that the focused beam approach to the LED HL makes it nearly invisible during the daytime. In fact your stock halogen headlight will be far more visible during the daytime than HD's LED. Check it out for yourself.

The Kury/TL LED Headlight is DRAMATICALLY more visible than the stock headlight which is already far more visible than the HD LED during the DAYTIME. If most of your riding is in daylight hours that should be a factor in your decision.

This is exactly the reason I stuck with the TL lights, and why I haven't replaced the halogen in the Night Train with Harley's LED. They're damn near invisible during the day, especially off-axis.

Daytime visibility with the TL lights is awsome. Absolutely affected my decision.
As far as fit goes both products are designed by automotive lighting companies to replace standard 7" sealed beams or similar devices still used in most trucks and motorcycles.

@ 131tman-

With that straight on shot it's hard to say which LED that is - but, based on the reflection in the fender, I'm going with Kury/TL.

BUT - I'm more interested in what that front tire is - whose; have you had it long enough to give an idea of tread life; is it quiet - please share...

Thanks in advance

Correct - TL/P6

18" Pirelli Night Dragon's/140 front. Outstanding tires, period!

I certainly hope you added those additional pictures of the headlight while/after I was posting - all I originally saw was the straight on shot... or maybe it's just my old age really acting up...

Thanks for the info on the tires - I'll have to check into them...
