Upgrading your Headlight

[DarkSideR]

There has been some interest as of late in upgrading our beloved Valkyrie's headlights to LED. To clear up confusion and to let those of us who are new to this, here is a post about what I do and what I offer.

I manufacture and sell an Adapter Bracket which allows the installation of an LED DayMaker style headlight to be seamlessly installed without modification. Literally plug-n-play. Here is a link to my installation video to help you understand just how easy it is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K48cp45_h6Q&t=165s)

I use to sell the bracket alone, allowing my customers choose a headlight of their choice. This however can be a daunting task with all the manufactures, and options available. So I did the work for you and teamed up with Eagle Lights. I choose Eagle Lights because they provide quality headlights, with lifetime warranties at competitive prices.

I still sell the brackets alone, but I also offer kits. A kit consists of the Headlight of your choice mounted in the Adapter Bracket, with an optional Chrome Beauty Ring (which fills in the gap between the headlight and the bezel).

Buying from myself helps support those who support you. I do this on the side simply to offer my Valkyrie Brethren LED lighting options.

Why all the hype? The benefits of upgrading to an LED Headlights are;
- Longevity! The headlight will last the life of your bike. No need to carry spare bulbs.
- Performance! LED headlights are 2-3 time brighter than the stock halogen bulbs.
- Cost saving! Eagle Lights headlights will outlast 30+ halogen bulbs.
- Safety! Not only will you be able to see more at night, in the daytime you will better seen!
- Efficiency! Eagle Lights headlights only draw 40w which is less than a halogen bulb. Your Valkyrie's aging alternator and wiring will thank you.

Please email me ValkyrieJosh@gmail.com to see what options I have available for you, and thank you for your support!

You didn't mention the amazing light pattern from the Eagle Lights. This is a very worthwhile upgrade, especially for us older folks, who need all the light they can get on those dark country roads. You can spot a deer's eyes much farther to the side of a road than even with the brighter halogen bulbs.

I'm pretty happy with mine. Installed at Taos Inzane by Josh - nice job, and quick.  I like the simple, elegant look of the "Dragon's Eye" (Josh's name) Eagle light Infinity Beam which is incidentally, their highest lumen model.  Having replaced my high-power halogen 130/90 watt bulb which abused my alternator and ended it's life at about 50k miles on the return ride from Roanoke, I have plenty of light and the load on my alternator is less now.  I also replaced the other four forward halogen lights with LED's and all of them together draw less then just the main headlight did on high beam.  All the lights on Jade are now LED except the neutral and high beam indicator lights - probably change those this winter just for S&G.
