    Is this happening to others, any suggestions on fixing the problem. I have beenthinking about getting a LED day maker but have been told by some that they are not that good when cornering due to not much spread on beam. My bike is a 2011 fatboy lo with 120R motor, the dealers have told me it's because the engine is lumper and this is causing the issue. I have changed globe about 6 times

    sounds like maybe the regulator over charging @ high temps/revs ?

    Regulator +1, put a volt meter on the battery and rev the engine. No more than 14v

    or greasy fingers on the globe. Clean it with metho
