A customer ordered these from me and had them installed today, They are the new spot lamp turn signal combo from Kury Akyn. The install instructions have you wiring the power to the spare power lead at the headlamps that is used for the international models. I felt that this wire guage was way to small for the current draw of the spot lamps so I wired them back the a relay that I drove from the aux switch in the fairing. Also the studs that came with the lights were a bit too short so I used the studs from the stock signal mounts instead.  Overall the look is great and they seem to really throw the light at well.

Here are a few pics of the final product:

What for output are the spots? Are they a pencil beam or a flood pattern?

Last one, Also these come with standard bulbs, we changed them out to the LED conversion kit.

Thanks for posting these images Jim.  Had been waiting and waiting to see these on a bike.  Was very interested but could never build an image in my head that I was satisfied was accurate as to what they'd look like.

Everyone's tastes vary.  Unfortunately for me, however, they don't just reach out and grab me.  I'm sure the new owner there will love them though.  I may just change the stock signal housing out for a set of stalks and bullet housing from the newer bikes though.  Will probably satisfy me quite well.

That is what I did! Those pancake lenses are HUGE in comparison.

I'd be curious if one could manipulate the brackets and get the larger lights on the bottom. I see the fairing removal as being tedious with them there. The pics look better than the "drawings" that Kury had posted at one time.

Mike;
They are considered a spot lamp and use the H3 bulb although they do spread out fairly well. I did not ride it at night so I do not have a night time report but in the shop they are comparable to the spots on the electra-glides

Thank you.

Fairing removal will be more difficult for sure as they are fairly heavy. Still just the two nuts to remove and slide them out of the way. These actually suprised me in the looks department. Much better than the concept drawings Kury had.

I'd wondered the same; especially when seeing Kuryakyn's original picture and line drawings that were posted for awhile.  Just want something better than the big pancake lights out front.  Had been waiting to see just what these Kuryakyn pieces would look like.  Thanks again Jim for sharing the photos.

I like it.

Looks great, Please let us know how much light they put out after you test them out.

I'm with TLR on this one, it's ok but, not for me. I would be interested in one that worked with the forks or something like that, that would turn the light as you turned, would have to be small and low profile, maybe mounted low. Oh ya, would have to rub my neck and fetch me beer too. hey, we can only hope.
