The lights on my Road Glide are shockingly bad, proper 1950s dangerous at night.
Mainly that hasn't been a problem because most of the miles are done in Europe in the summer so by the time it gets dark we are in a nice restaurant.
But now I have got rid of the car it has seen use on dark winter nights.
The first fix was high power halogen bulbs. A bit better, dragged the lights into the 1960s.
Then one of the dip beams blew. Now, as you may or may not know removing the outer fairing on a Road Glide is easy, but replacing it is spectacularly fiddly and takes dozens of attempts over 3 days.
So, LEDs then... Do it once and forget about it.
I bought the Road Glide LED headlight kit from Ledperf in France.
Fits easily, works very well indeed.
Best of all, she passed the MOT today with the LED headlights no problems.
The dip cut off is horizontal so no problems with riding in foreign.
The lack of light on the nearside hasn't been a problem so far, and being an FL adding extra light should I need them won't be a problem.
