I bought this h/light on ebay for$90 its7500 lms/

Lumen numbers like that are meaningless. And, frankly, almost certainly a bald-faced lie. Actual lux (light on the road) is going to be markedly inferior to good LED's like JW Speaker, Truck-lite or Vision X.

This is capitalism, you can't get quality for $100. I'm sure it pumps out light, but how well? Does it blind people in the oncoming lane? Plus, the chance it's DOT or E approved is below zero, so it's illegal.

The chinese ripoffs being recommended here may or may not suck, but the old adage of "you get what you pay for" should be kept in mind, is all I'm saying.

Headlight Revolution tested a bunch of 7-inchers, and the "one GAZILLION lumen" chinese lights all sucked out loud.

yea well it IS DOT approved and it dosnt blind the on coming traffic , and the way I see it if its stuffed in two or three years ol buy another, and nearly 80% of everything comes out of china.

but i wouldent mind fitting a single one.

The problem really is going to be finding fork claps to fit. The R3 stanchions are BIG

Why not 2x 7"? - on paper possible. Yes this is just photo-shopped.


If you intend to ride at night - Get JW Speaker ADAPTIVE lights. Two lights means MORE light!.

If you're a daytime rider and go 7" - I'd say TRUCKLITE rather than Speaker (or clones) - better scatter.
I'm impressed by Lucas Lamp Shells.

You should have bought a Harley

OR

a motorcycle with one headlight.

That's what I did!

GSG-MOTOTECHNIK in Germany have some too. But on the whole you'll have to really search.

Bought both through Amazon for less than $60 each. Plug and play, huge improvement over stock.
