Thanks to all on this forum for never ending great advice. I have a 2013 FLHTK anniversary edition. So far, I have upgraded the bike with the following:

Ward's fan - Bike always ran hot and pinged when in traffic. Hasn't gone into "heat mode" once since install. Perfect.

FL-VIED - Reduced pinging to almost zero. Nice combo with fan.

Jes Custom Accents - Reduced buffeting dramatically and does not hit my lowers (just remember to buy 1 with the cutout).

Air Hawk air pillow - Use for rides over 4 hours.

I was hoping for one more recommendation. I was "left turned" about 20 years ago. Never walked right since. I found a new old stock set of Truck Lite phase 6 passing lights. Heard they were better for daylight visibility. I don't ride much at night.

No good on the Phase 6 headlight. Can't be found for obvious reasons. I hear good and bad about both the phase 7 and Harley Daymaker LED for daylight. I saw that photo in one post. It looked almost like it wasn't on.

Wondering which one do I get for daylight?

 

for day and night visibility I went with HID lights and custom dynamics dynamic ringz , if they don't see this , nothing will help

 

I have the truck lite on my switchback and the daymaker on my roadking and hands down the trucklite is better. However I understand hd revised their daymaker and made improvements. Either way they are both better than stock halogen or incandescent.

 

real world day marker beats them all but the HD hates would pick a candle over an Hd product

 

yes, no, maybe.

i notice that some LEDS do not show in my side mirror when a bike gets close up.

yes i spot them at a distance behind me, but the narrow(er) beam on some LEDS, does not allow me to see 'em.

always assume you are invisible.

I don't think you can beat a properly aimed Daymaker.

 

have read a lot on here about the LEDs not being seen in the daylight off to the side or not any good at night in curves , all that and the cost is why I went with HIDs

 

I know you said the Phase 6 Trucklite is supposed to be off the table, but it's far better than the Phase 7 and the HD light. Glad I got mine (and passing lamps) when I did. I'd keep looking.....just my opinion.

 

 

I think the Trucklite is marginally better, but the high beam on either one looks like a small sun coming down the road if they're properly adjusted.
