Kuryaken phase 7 LED headlight

Good day all.

I just purchased that led headlight for my 1700 Nomad and soon realized that its not a direct replacement using the actual bracket in place with no anchoring point to install the adj screws..

Does anyone know if they make something for these sealed heaelight for my bike

Really like the looks of the one you did, and coming from a bike with stock leds (2014 Z1000) would like to go back to them. My concern is: are they obnoxiously bright to oncoming traffic on low? Don't wanna blind anybody.

Thanks! Not blinding at all. It's fully adjustable and has a nice beam cutoff. JW Speaker provides Harley with their LED headlight so if you've seen an LED lit Harley on the road you've seen what this one looks like.

Like night and day, Ray, no pun intended. Lot brighter of course and seems to be a wider beam, I have the JW Speaker 8700 installed with the kuryakin LED auxiliary lights

Instead of buying the Kury, get the Trucklites. Trucklites actually makes the Kury, and Kury rebrands, but the Trucklites is only about $185

You can try retro fitting this one https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ng-light/2512/
The JW seems like it is the best LED on the market but it's pricey http://www.jwspeaker.com/products/le...0-evolution-2/
I have checked some reviews on the Trucklite and I am not too impressed with it.

Changing the reflector and bulb is the way to go and not just the bulb

Cool, thanks. My father-in-law has a 2013 Ultra with the led's, look great, but the Harley didn't fit me as well(plus I've always been a Kawi guy anyways) I believe I'll be getting the evo 2's after a few performance mods. Thanks for the good write up and pics
