Anyone tried or seen these on a bike yet?

The pics in the new catalog look strange.....ok kinda ugly but they may be nicer in person and I would like to see better at night.

Makes you wonder why they are not on the 2011 CVO's

[DESERTBEAR54]

Next Year on the CVO's. Harley is going to Composite Cranks to cut cost next year and that will allow them to go with a brighter headlight to be seen on a lonely road with no powerplant operation.

CVO bikes never got HID straight from the factory either.  Closest thing to a headlight upgrade was the dual bulb reflector on the SEUCs.

they had them on display in Sturgis and they do work really well

Some kind of a night time display to compare them against HID and halogen?

yup

[Twolanerider]

yup

Cool.  I know just a visual look isn't too calibrated.  But what did it "look" like? 

Shoot downrange farther than both the halogen and the HID or somewhere in between the two?  What was the low beam pattern like?  Aside from the brightness of the light itself what was the impression of the pattern of the reflector?

Down range was much farther but I did not meausure since it was set up in a tent. Low beam was the same pattern as HID ( that is what it seemed like) but much brighter.  Over all I was very impressed except for the price.

I agree with ya on the price and the styling but when you see them on the new Audi's and Porche's as well as other cars....Man they stick out!

HD wants $525 for a 7" round.  Custom Dynamics, $285.  Neither tells you the candle power or lumens.  Any one know?  My two HID's for the Road Glide cost $118.  That's a huge difference and I don't see the the LED's give any more light.

This is gonna be a great thread to watch!

If you're willing for purposes of discussion that the LED light is in fact a good light I can think of one reason to consider it over equally good but lesser expensive aftermarket HID kits.  At least for Road Kings.  And that's the simple install. 

The LED light will plug directly in to the existing headlight plug.  That's it.  Nothin' else.  On a Road King shoehorning two ballasts and igniters inside the nacelle makes for cramped quarters.

This is one I won't venture out and try. I will wait until I can put my hand/eyes on them. Too many dollars for experimenting. I have Custom Dynamics on the corners and tail light now and am happy with their quality.

[49445CVO]

Anyone gonna try any of these?  I know that we are all wondering if they will out perform HID's.  Anyone find out any info on them.  Are they brighter than the HID's?
