    I was at the Galveston Lonestar Rally standing on the strand with the bikes coming at you.
    I can tell you the new Daymakers are bright.

    $200 is good, the RG light is a lot higher from HD but I got
    it through Jon at Horney Toad HD in Tejas....

    Just saying if I have $500 to spend on the bike the LED
    light is up there with new pipes, apes, seat etc because it's
    worth it.

    Josh, the truck lite LED would bolt right in, use less power
    and you'd have at least double the light, and during the day
    people can see you better...

    Don't rightly remember which tail light you have.
    But this is what I stuck on mine.
    And don't say you didn't see me.

    That's what I have now ya gotta get the LEDs for you rear turn signals and the module to convert them to turn, brake , running lights. They are brighter than the bright ass light.
    This is normal running mode

    Yeah I heard some where when I was looking to purchase my '15 that the lite replacments are expensive to the tune of 300-500+$.

    Owning any Harley isn't cheap. Purchasing and maintaining one isn't cheap. The more money the better the bike.

    Had a 1981 XLS Roadster then traded up to the 1983. For 30 years I had the old 1983 FL and 1963 FL. Paid off both, cheap to maintain but still $$.

    Then in 2002 I hit the mother load and never looked back with a 1998 Ultra anni w/matching sidecar, 2001 Ultra shriner addition and 2012 Ultra.

    The 2015 is my Harley Davidson crowning glory. I can afford so I purchase,lol. And grateful to God for the opportunity. I'm figuring thats His way of saying He condones my screwed up priorities for my whole life.
