    Got my light today!

    Well...my light finally arrived today on the brown truck.

    I ditto all of Jason's review for the most part.

    It really is a good light for the money. It looks very much like a factory housing, and the black and chrome go well together.

    Quality, fit and finish is very good. No extra flashing on molded parts, and everything fit together perfectly. There is plenty of room in the new bucket for the plugs and wire that inhabited the old bucket.

    I too had to bend the ears a bit, but it was very minimal, and looks fine.

    Overall a fantastic light! I'll post updates if any of this changes with time, but I don't foresee any issues.

    I'll upload some pics a bit later...I promise I can't believe how amazing it looks! I think it totally changes the look of my bike!

    I'd recommend it to anyone.

        Oooh, that's purdy!

        I like the modern "faceted" look!

        Anyone know where one might find just the headlamp bit for a reasonable sum? Most places I've seen want about $100 for something like that.

            Glad you got yours alright. I'm chaning my headlight to a 7" round, but I was warry of getting a light with the "Euro look" reflector like that and especially one off ebay. I had a pair on my car and I could stand the brightness (or lack there of). I ended up getting mine from Aztec8 though because I could get the mounts and all at the same time. I've heard okay things about them and they claim DOT approval. I'll see how it is when it gets here on Friday.

            Oh btw, if you ever want to go to dual lights, the lights off a Buell Ulysses are suppose to be really good and are pretty cheap.

                    Another option I've seen posted previously.
