Company that manufactures LED headlamp for Harley????
« on: January 25, 2012, 03:30:57 PM »

There was a rumor that they were going to come out with a set for the RG at this springs dealer meeting.  There was a post that had the name of the company that made them for Harley.  I went to their site and asked a few months ago but I forgot the site and I can't find the threa.  Help?

I think Greg is talking about some other LED products.  The LED headlight for HD is sourced from JW Speaker.

BigLew55 / Mike is correct that jw makes the LED headlight for HD but Custom Dynamic makes nearly the same product and it is $284 in stead of $525 for the HD light.  Have not seen anyone making the lights for a Road Glide yet.  Probably not enough of them out there to create the market.  JCZ did a great review on both some time ago. 

I still have not seen a good comparison between LED and HID.  The HID lights seem to be at least as good but far cheaper, about 1/3 the cost.  They do use more current but not so much that it matters....  So while LED's are the future; I'm not sure they're the best for the present.   :nixweiss:

They have been compared andd that was posted online, but I don't recall where.

Thanks, topic came up on another thread and I am doing some digging to see if I can get any info for a potential product.  I thougt the same thing, not enough RG for the effort but then again, they will sell twice as many lights per bike so you never know  :nixweiss: for that reason?
