Polished......Powder Protected.........Pretty!





And just because you bolt a Harley headlight on your bike, it will not develop a new oil leak. Wink

It's a shame that it gets hidden behind a 7" light.

Jog:  Since you sometimes speak in code.....I interpreted this as a request to get on the list - so you were placed on the list.

Forks and shocks get bottomed out on the roads I'm running. I'm gonna be needing a Real Headlight. The anemic light lets little, avoidable rough places sneak up on me.



I just sent you a PM to the link with the new Marketplace listing.

I wish I could make them available cheaper - but when you only do 8 at a time, there really isn't any way to make them efficiently.  If you take the time to find a bargain on a used Harley bucket and reflector, that could help bring the total cost down.

Is there a lamp/ bucket combination that has been tested and proven to be a better light?
The roads are very dark where I ride coming home from fishing.
If I need to get the adapter now and slowly acquire the parts and do the work, I'm able to do that.
I need to go grocery shopping, but I don't think I should be driving yet.. The head is still a balloon, ears are screwy and I'm not exactly looking like my gyroscope is spun up.

The Candlepower 7" can still be had in the $40 range on eBay.  I believe their factory burned down - and all the ones you can find are New Old Stock (nos).  They are the lens/reflector that I choose to buy....they work well.

The older Hella lights can still be found occasionally - look for the E code lens as the light dispersion is best (make sure it is one made for right hand roads, there sometimes is an EU one that sneaks into the US).  The glass is a really nice crystal.....these were the light of choice for a long time.

I bought 2 of the $20 ones that are made in India to try.  They look OK so far, the metal where you plug the bulb in is not formed as nice as the Hella or Candlepower - but they are half the price.

I don't now much about new fluted/prism style....they are on the newer Harleys and available aftermarket - some of the cheaper ones use plastic lenses rather than glass.
