I've been running this headlight on my '17 Ultra Limited for two seasons now. My original HD Daymaker suffered catastrophic shatter failure at the hands of some bug with a death wish. I couldn't believe how much better this light is than the HD DM. 10 + 10 stars on this upgrade.
Kevin Hartman what's your opinion about this light compared to the 17 Ultra Limited DM light on dark curvy back roads? The DM cast a flat "airplane wing" left to right flat light, and leaves HUGE dark unlit spots at the 9 to 3 o'clock areas. Does this light fill those areas?
Very well explained and this is my first upgrade on my 08 Ultra Classic , I can definitely do this and save some labor. Thanks again for a great video, got a new sub here !!
Thanks for the detailed video. I wish they would include the plug with the headlight though. Glad it is the offseason, but I really wanted to power this up.
Just installed a pair of them twin peaks H.bars on my CVO , Now I can’t wait until Spring to use them..!! I’m down for a new Head light from Ciro I love that vision X lamp...
You will love those bars ...besides being super easy to pull wires in they are very comfortable. I may go another route on the road glide though...I rode one the other day with some cool bars on it and im considering that for the new build. The road glide will for sure get the Vision X in it...man that thing is unbelievably better than the cheapo I had.
I installed the same on my electra. Works great, but up where I live in the mountains, we have a lot of sharp curbs and as you can see on your video(15.36) the light is like a "wing". So when you're in that curb you don't see a fu*ck where you want to go. For the rest it works great. About the price: if it costs more than 400 bucks from the retailer, he puts about 200 bucks in his pocket. That's not normal. Cheers from France. Great video man!
@@sikbaggers Hi buddy ,is cold at the moment ,I think its time to put the bike up on the Jack and cover her up. Gives me time to get some work done on her. I got to check the cams this year as she's done 33'000 .Never done it before but I have a idea . Like you I like saving a bit off money as HD charge $$$$$. Keep doing the videos buddy 👍
@@sikbaggers yes yes ,tick tock me till I was 42 to do my test. Mum passed away my mate had a Honda Shadow c1100 1986 and gave it to me,never been given anything in my life. Had a couple of Softails then go a Fatboy .I'm a carea for my wife so have to save the Penny's. Ride safe my friend. Roll on the summer
I have a headlight from truck mall and it is more shiny and quite frankly brighter than the Harley-Davidson brand by jw speaker. I think the good aftermarket headlight makers like he speaker, hogworkz, SUNPIE, and truck mall use a bigger chip in their led’s which make them brighter at a reduced cost. Weather two times or three times brighter ANYTHING is better than stock.
great video! on a different topic, We have a 2008 XL 1200 Nightster that we were thinking about looking for hard bags for. Do you have any options? TIA
What part of southern Illinois are you from brother?! I live in Lawrenceville and honestly I’d love to come see your shop this summer!! Been planning out some rides for the year and I’d enjoy visiting you if that’s ok. I ride a street glide
@@sikbaggers right on brother. I’d like to take a ride up to your shop this summer if that’s okay with you.. maybe schedule a paint correction detail on my street glide
love this site always great information even for a brand new rider and my Harley 2013 electric glide classic, any upgrade vid to this bike would be appreciated and thanks from Fort Erie Ontario Canada.
Hey Gordon! Sorry man this comment got buried and I didnt see it. Thank you for checking us out man! And youre gonna love that new bagger! Stay warm up there brother and have a great Christmas!
Hi! Great video, very informative and clear footage. I have a 07 street glide the previous owner put an off brand china light on that doesn't fit properly with the stock bucket. I see you do not have one, is it necessary to have a headlight bucket and/or would i need to replace my stock one for this light set up. Thank you!
generally the bucket is part of your adjustment ring...you would have to look at that. If the heat finsd on the back of the LED light are hitting the bracket in the bucket you can snip out part of the bucket in the middle
Hey David...I really cant help much there man..I havent ran that headlight before..my opinion on moving headlights, and take this with a grain of salt bro as I could be wrong...I understand it on cars...2 headlights, 6 feet apart...still lighting up both side of the road...one headlight turning to the right, it adapts to the right...can you still see the left? We have deer and they dont really care which side of the road they cross on lol I could just never wrap my head around it on a bike..I really need to try one out to be honest
Hey terell...I have not tried that but Ciro makes a headlight bezel that has turn signals integrated into it ...the halo is just one light so im not sure you could use that as a left and right signal but you can with the bezel because it is two separate lights.
at 1:21 "...there's a list of things that I've compiled as the top five things that super suck about stock Harleys..." Where is the list (of the other four)? I would love to hear your insight!
The headlight was a cheapo amazon headlight...and this thing blows it away...the design of the reflector and placement of the lights makes this one spread farther but still not blind oncoming traffic.
I installed an led bulb I order online it came with 2in a box I order from somewhere in florida I think it looks good still have the stock headlight but just changed the bulb but might have to consider one of those what's the price on those anyidea
Hey Ben..I actually did at first too. I got a set of bulbs I think from amazon and it was ok, definitively better than stock! I did however start to develop a flicker in them and thats when I changed to a LED light. Unfortunately I went the cheap route and paid for it.

Hey Kevin...I did get one..good eye on catching that in the comments..havent missed a video though...Its a 15 rg and its pretty much bone stock. perfect blank pallet! Im waiting on a few things and I'll release a video with it and talk about future plans.
There should be a Vision X VX which is an amber/white switchback hallow ring for jeeps and the Vision X XMC which is a solid white hallow for the motorcycle. Im not sure on the price differences.
Hey Jake..check out my video here, I walk you through making your own. Its been hanging there since I did this video and no issues..cheap too! ruclips.net/video/5n48YmZjE_8/видео.html
I would do them all ....The color difference will be crazy off anyway..the halogen bulbs will be a more brown color and your LED headlight would be a brighter white in the 5000 6000 kelvin. It will light up the sides of the raod much better for you as well. We live in deer country so thats always a plus!
@@wwclt There are speakers where my stock mirrors used to be. I have performance machine mirrors that are hanging down from the perches. These 10" bars will be right in front of your stock mirrors though. The pullback/sweep on these are 6 inches.
@@wwclt Thank you...its been a very long work in progress as all of them are I guess lol. Next were moving on to a Road glide...see what I can do with one of those this time.
Yes it is pricey but with these you really get what you pay for. Search a few 7: headlight reviews and watch some from Headlight revolution. They compare these, show light output, light patterns and show true lumen output on the top brands....not all leds are created equal for sure.

Thank you for checking out the video and always glad to help! Super thankful for the sub too!! Much appreciated!
Great easy to understand keep up the great work.(CVMA 18-3 Knoxville TN) C4
Thank you Bleve!
i bought the headlight, easy to install. gives more than enough light. greetings from Belgium
Best headlight I've ever used for a Street Glide is the JW speaker adaptive headlight.... AWESOME...
Thanks for the detailed video. I wish they would include the plug with the headlight though. Glad it is the offseason, but I really wanted to power this up.
yeah they dont include the plug because the 7 inch round fits alot of bikes, just change the plug...youll have to get one for your bike.
Thanks for the video. Finally just ordered one.
Excellent! Thanks!
thank you!
Superb video: clear and concise. Great job!
Would've been good to see the standard light vs upgrade while on the road at night. Excellent videos

Steve what is the difference in the vision x vs vision xmc about a $100 difference in cost
There should be a Vision X VX which is an amber/white switchback hallow ring for jeeps and the Vision X XMC which is a solid white hallow for the motorcycle. Im not sure on the price differences.
cool

Hey Jake..check out my video here, I walk you through making your own. Its been hanging there since I did this video and no issues..cheap too! ruclips.net/video/5n48YmZjE_8/видео.html
Do you reccomend I replace the passing lights with led as well as the main light on my 16 RK or is only the headlight sufficient ?
I would do them all ....The color difference will be crazy off anyway..the halogen bulbs will be a more brown color and your LED headlight would be a brighter white in the 5000 6000 kelvin. It will light up the sides of the raod much better for you as well. We live in deer country so thats always a plus!
Indian has a bright LED off the line.
Yeah still blows my mind HD makes us buy them in this day and age. Should be LED all the way around for the price.
looks like a nice light but still too pricy
Off subject, What size bars are those?
10 inch LA Chopper Twin Peaks. Keeps your hands right behind the fairing. 12's will put them right above the fairing
Ok ... I was just wondering cause I see you still have stock mirrors. Do you know of the head what is the pull back?

Sorry but for 80 more dollars I’m going DayMaker , there is no reason to go on an off brand headlight for $420 when you get a day maker for 500
$419.00 ouch ...
Yes it is pricey but with these you really get what you pay for. Search a few 7: headlight reviews and watch some from Headlight revolution. They compare these, show light output, light patterns and show true lumen output on the top brands....not all leds are created equal for sure.

So, some are eating very well...
459.00 um, I'll pass on that shit........
Roger that!
