    Here is the Low Beam on the JW speaker Evolution 2 on Low Beam & the Harley Daymaker Projector passing lamps.

    The JW speaker came in yesterday.
    Just went to the Harley dealer today and got the passing lamps

    I had a HiD that was bright.
    I had the Screaming Eagle dual Bulb and ordered the low and high beam in the K above 5000K
    I was into Blue.

    Problem is it lasted 3 yrs. It had 2 ballast and 2 bulbs.
    When I was at the lonestar rally, I was doing some serious partying on Friday nite
    When I went to leave I was on the sidewalk and wanted out. Nobody would let me out.
    So I jumped infront of somebody and when the light changed I took off. After I got past the street light I notised I couln't see.
    So i notised I had no headlight. and flipped high beam on. It lasted a minute of 2 and it went off.
    I had to make it across the island a little toasted with my running light.
    The next day I couldn't find anybody that had HID down at the rally.
    This drove me to where I am now.
    The problem with LED is its SO dauym Expensive.
    Harley wants like 560.00 for the Daymaker projector LED headlight.
    I got it for 360.00
    The JW speaker passing lamps are all on Back order at the JW speaker with the dealers like Eastern Performance.
    And a pair of hem are more expensive than the headlight.
    Called Kingwood HD and they had the 4" Projector Daymaker passing lamps for 399.00 for a pair.
    and with me being a MVP member I got money off that.
    The JW speaker Evo 2 headlight didn't look right with the Old passing lamps.

    I'd love to have the seat on a 2015 SE Ultra too.
    The padding is great. And its electric heat.
    Problem is they want too much for it.

    Yeah it's pricy but when you ride with about 10 redneck buds at night
    With no lights it seems cheap compared to the dui or lawyer bill

    I have that seat on my rg. It's the first hd seat I didn't want to change

    $1300 to replace it. Cheap it isnt

    On the 2014 and 15 bikes you can take it into your dealer and have them reprogram them so that your spots will stay on when you turn the brights on. I also readjusted my headlight and spots, much better.

    The seat on my 2014 SE is really nice and comfortable. The problem is the padding is much thicker. It sits you up higher from the ground and you need longer legs to flat foot it. Not a problem for people like me or Cardboard but someone like Johnny with a shorter stature would have a real problem.

    Don't think that will work on my 11 model. I had sent a email to JW speaker, but ain't heard nothing.

    I did the Progressive monotubes like a year and a half ago.

    And did the Progressive 944 UT shocks on the rear that dropped it 1".
    OL can get on a tiny bit easier. She is only 5'2 1/2 or mabe 5'3".

    The height of my bike is perfect now.
    And with the michelin tires really handles a lot better.

    Just saying for the 14 and newer as you can no longer put a jumper in like on the 13 and below to have you spots stay on when the brights are on. It really helps to see better when the spots are on with the brights. Just saying.

    Where do you get the jumper and where do you put it.
    Is it a plug ?

    I used to wire my own in. I have a wiring diagram for them but, now there is a plug and go set up sold at the Harley dealer. Really makes it simple and no cutting and splicing wires anymore. I bought one for my 14 but can't do them on the newer bikes any longer as now it's in the computer.
