i am looking forward to it, but I am going with just the headlight for now..  No passing lamps on this Street Glide nas of yet.   I was a cool light that goes in the turn signals..  the oiutside is bright white LED and throws out some good light and the center blinks amber when the turn signals is on.. Really cool.  I might try those.. :-\

Eagle this is the light I was referring to...not the passing lamps although these would look great with truck led

Now worries from me Wayne!  Wow, those Runes are awesome machines.  That paint looks great!   :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks. They call it Candy Black Cherry. Guess you could consider the Rune as Honda's version of a CVO.

Okay, finally got some time on the home PC to upload the pictures from the driving light install.  Frankly speaking, I don't see much of an improvemet over the lighting capabilities of the stock driving lights.  But, they sure look better with the Truck-Lite headlight.  The light pattern it thows out (using imagination here) an image like a bird.  Not exact, but graphically.  It's pretty cool to ride on four lanes of freeway headed north on I-280 at 5:30 AM with no other traffic nearby.  The lighting is far superior to the headlight that was on there, by far.  Here are the pics.

I'm very satisfied with this purchase and I recommend anyone thinking of upgrading to LED, this is the way to go, for now.

Eagleye, beautiful bike.  I'm really torn between the clean look of the stock SG and the function/safety aspect of installing the driving lights.  Thanks for the helpful pics.

What's your impression of the Dragon Wings?  I put them on my SG, and they make a big difference.   :2vrolijk_21:  I'm just not sure if I'll ever get used to the looks, though.   :thumbsdown:  I wouldn't call them ugly, but, well, they're... homely.   :puke: Definitely a function over form item.

Like you, I'm not totally thrilled with the look of the Dragon Wings, but I like that I can open and direct the air where wanted.  I believe they look 100% better than the stock units.  There is a nother option that I didn't see until I hit the 'buy' button.  They have them in a mirrored option, which looks much better in my book.  I would have picked those up, but so be it.  It is what it is for now.

Eagleye,, you can get the new harness that lets you operate the passing lamps with the switch on the lower cap and really light up the road with the ph 7.    I have the same fairing deflectors that come on the CVO ultra on my sg.  Makes a big difference at 80 mph and they are adjustable.  I don't think they take away any of the looks either.  With thos and the deflector down by the tank, my wind tolerance is much better.  Much more comfortable ride and I can always open them when traveling at a slow speed.  :)

Right Stu. I ordered one a few weeks ago, but we're told after ordering they are on back order.

It it doesn't arrive in a week, I'm canceling my order.

Eagle Eye,
Pardon me for resurrecting an old thread, but I have just fitted the Trucklite Phase 7 combination, and now have to deal with the ugly black side of the headlight sticking out all poppy-eyed, like a guy with goiter problem. The part number for the Frenched Headlight Trim Ring from J&P that you lists how's fitment only as far as '08. My bike is a 2010 FLHTCUSE5, would the same part fit my bike?
Can anyone else suggest something - I saw a comment from Twolane about the "visor" trim ring on his Brandywine red  SERK. Will this work with the batwing fairing?
Thanks and regards,
Peggers
