So, Looked at Hogworkz and Alteredstates led headlight setups. Very pricey for a Canadian to buy then ship. Plus, there is usually the surprise of duty fees when UPS guy shows up. So what's a less expensive way to go for us Canucks.?

I’ve tried a couple of the Chinese eBay specials... and sent them back. Cold spots, no real difference lope to high- and ended up spending the money on a hogworkz. Love it... just not the price tag. But... worth it in the end

If I'm not mistaken this light is round and without brackets won't fit easy with my 2012 NRS which I neglected to mention.

$500 is a tough hit to take for a headlight though, ( by the time it gets to me with exchange etc )

Yea pre face-lift stuff a bit cheaper too,prob get the retro cowl /light and bucket/bracket for less than the over priced "upgrade" ....

I have this one on my 2012 NRS. Perfect fit and very bright...$166 to my door. You can see it on my bike in the vrscdx pic thread.

Yeh- that part sucks. I will say, I also tried led bulbs in the stock housing before I went that route too.. didn’t like them either. Maybe check out the one Shafty has listed?

I just took the light assembly off so you can see it's a perfect fit...

Welcome to our world for the discontinued/barely supported V-Rod. Same boat. This site is super helpful but 99% USA so evertime I find something, it's a huge price difference (exchange plus int'l shipping/duty/taxes) or will simply not ship outside USA. I've bookmarked a bunch of stuff and will start the accumulation as the supply will only go down, and the cost will only go up for anything and everything V-Rod...

For the headlight, that one Shafty posted seems like a good option for the price. Although the Hogworkz option is very appealing. The stock headlight sucks balls and I can/will only ride after dark with hi-beams on until I upgrade.

I ride with my hi-beams on during the day and at night (under the right conditions).

I got the 5 1/4 HD daymaker several years ago and have not looked back, of course the upfront cost is significant but it was the best money I ever spent on my bike. I recently installed a 79$ led 5 1/4 light from Amazon on a friends bike and side by side there is no comparing. The HD daymaker outperformed it by a long shot
