Hey guys,

I ride a 2009 Naked SV650A. I wanted to switch up the standard naked headlight to something a little more fun.

Found this headlight that is LED with a Halo incorporated on amazon(https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01NA9AHAW...olid=106SR7YPIM9HJ&coliid=IJKOTU351Y8I8&psc=1).

2 questions:

1) Will it fit my bike? (as in... are pretty much all 7" headlights the same?)
2) Would you trust a $90 headlight?

Thanks!

Harley sells a similar bulb for over $450.00!
I'd trust a $90 bulb but not the whole set-up.

The reviews on amazon.com seem favourable

Replacing the entire headlight with a projector setup like this is the way to go.

I would toss on 1 rectangle and 1 circle...make it look interesting and more visible (run 1 yellow bulb)

You get what you pay for.

On some of the Harley forums I frequent, the inexpensive no-name led headlights that people first go with are quickly replaced due to poor light output and beam pattern.

The best unit out there is the JW Speaker unit, they are the OEM supplier for the Daymaker lights found on Harleys. Second is the Eaglelite and third is the Mictuning unit. Most go with the Eaglelite as it has the best price/performance ratio for lumens and beam dispersion.
