What did you do to clear the RLU error that I know he experienced after the install. The "Reserve Lighting Unit" measures the resistance a normal H4 halogen bulb puts off and knowing that all of these led fixtures don't have near the resistance the RLU gets a false reading that the low beam has burned out and turns the error light on in the dash as well as trying to turn on the high beams. Seems in some countries back in the 1980s required this safety feature on bikes to ensure that the headlight would still be on in the event of a low beam filament failure. Most folks just bypass the RLU or add resistors inline with the new headlight.

*Thanks for this inside look at a retrofit.* Harley-Davidson factory-installs the J. W. Speaker 8700 in 2014-up FLH Touring models (viz., the FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHX, and FLHR); I anticipate that a Truck-Lite six-diode model with two twist-lock flasher provisions will be used for the fleet-only FLHP and FLHTP (the smaller FLTR, and likely FLTP, headlights, installed in pairs on a frame-mount fairing, are subcontracted to Truck-Lite for 2016-up).

Was the demonstration low beam or high beam? Why no comparison? Thanks. Just curious.

@BLOODPILOT1 3 жыл бұрын

Random question, but is there a backplate or something for the back of the light since that backplate can get hot, isn't that bad for the wiring harness and housing in general?

Heat is not an issue when standing still. JW Speaker lights are made in the USA.

I NEED HELP! I just bought a LED Headlamp for my 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan size 5.75 inches and the stock bracket does not fit the LED headlamp. I have been looking for a ring or something that would fit around the LED headlamp and screw into the stock outer ring. Can you suggest something for me please?

@SIRENNET 4 жыл бұрын

Nothing comes to mind regarding a specific adapter ring or mount that we can offer or point you towards. How big is the stock housing on the Vulcan?

I have a 2001 suzuki bandit that seems to have a (female) 6 pin connector. This lamp seems to have three large pins. Is there some sort of adapter I can buy to connect the two? Does anyone know?

@SIRENNET 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Daniel. Unfortunately we haven't been able to locate any 6 to 3 pin conversion harnesses. If you haven't already, we'd recommend taking a look at a Bandit forum to see if anyone has a solution they've found or even perhaps made custom for a conversion.

We can't say for certain. Last Vulcan retrofit that we heard about with a 2015 Nomad 1200 resulted in the diameter being to small to fit in the oem housing.

hi sirennet by any chance do you know if this headlight would work with stock 2017 kawasaki vulcan 900 custom? or would I need to buy a bezel kit?

We can't say for certain. If the HL bezel is what actually holds in the 7" round stock headlight, then an add-on bezel shouldn't be necessary.
