The windshield need not be removed from the outer fairing when replacing headlights. The Harley kit required that you drilled into the front of the fairing from the inside so just be careful so as not to scratch the windshield.

I'm thinking about trying one of the new Daymaker projectors #67700264. I have the Daymaker reflector version on my other bike and love it. I like it that when you turn on the highbeam the lowbeam stays on as well. Has anyone tried connecting up a relay to make the new Daymaker headlight work like this? I don't think the amp draw would be an issue because the LED draws so little, just curious if it would produce more light?

I'm using these right now, seem good for me, I was using HID and was happy with lights but the wiring was a mess. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-LED-Headlight-Projector-Daymaker-Lamp-For-Harley-Road-Glide-2003-2013-/262236237382

I see JW speaker is producing adaptive led's for the Road Glide, kinda pricey. http://www.jwspeaker.com/products/adaptive-led-headlights-model-8692-adaptive/?utm_source=homepage&utm_campaign=Model%208692%20Adaptive%20RoadGlide%20Headlight&utm_medium=image&utm_content=slider3

Custom dynamics makes a version too. https://www.customdynamics.com/trubeam_motorcycle_led_headlamp.htm

Compared to the last two listed HD's version is a deal.

Well nuts, there's $150 I don't have anymore....

just be aware that the lens material on the cree light is plastic as opposed to glass on the hd version.  but for saving a few hundred bucks, i'd be all over it.

Didn't notice that but for the cost difference I can take some buffing compound to the plastic lens once a year.  Definitely not a deal breaker.

PC (polycarbonate) is used in many headlight applications, although china mfg. has been known to use other materials and forge their MTR's. Hazing and clouding is one od the issues with PC. I have three of the original headlights for the TR if I have to I'll rob the outer lens and transfer it over to the led, maybe 

I just couldn't resist trying them at $150 and so far it's good, I'm getting to be a cheap sob, just celebrated my 7yr anniversary of retirement and still have three yrs before I can draw any monies from SS.
