Akmties 5.75 inch Headlight for Yamaha Motorcycle, Front Driving Parking Light with Bracket Compatible for Yamaha XVS650 Custom, XSR900, XSR700, XJR1300, XVS950, Bolt, Raider, (Stryker 2011-2017)

The media could not be loaded.  Way better than both just an LED bulb swap and the stock light. This light has a nice beam projection pattern which I personally prefer over reflective mirror housings on motorcycles. The swap is simple all you use is the outer ring and everything else you can toss out. You do however have a small gap in the headlight, but it can be filled it with a rubber seal.

There aren't a ton of options for these bikes: either you replace the headlight bucket with one of those cheap looking bolt on ones, spend $500+ on custom options for the bolt, or get this one - which is a $40 light with an adapter bracket. But overall, it's still the best option in my opinion. The light design itself has been around for a while and works great - I've had the same one on past bikes with good long term success. They're bright, especially with the high beams on, have a nice cutoff so don't blind oncoming traffic, and have a cool look to them day or night.There are a few places where these fall short however, which keeps them from being a slam dunk. There are no included instructions - while the installation isn't particularly hard, there are a couple details to figure out that would have been nice to know up front. The bracket must be attached to the housing first and the screws have to be TIGHT to keep the light steady. Then you can bolt the light to the bracket, and should probably use some locktite on these cap screws. Even with this, the light is not super secure and can be pushed up and down by hand. There is no way to "aim" these besides just rocking it in the housing and hoping it stays there. Finally, there's a pretty big gap between the light and the trim ring, and some kind of filler piece would have gone a long way to making this look better.

installed on a 2005 warrior..pretty much plug and play..with included mounting bracket. install took about 35 minutes..seems to be plenty bright. the only down side I see is the light itself is under 5.75 inches, which leaves a gap between the light and trim ring. not really that noticable. I had to send the first package back because it contained a ni e carved wooden stash box..not a 116 dollar value..but had the replacement in my hands In 2 days..so I give kudos to the seller on great service..thanks

Light looked great, went through the time and effort to disassemble the light on my bolt, took me a bit because the adjustment bracket is a pain due to build up from riding, but no biggie, it’s what it takes to replace it with a good looking, but still inexpensive light. Once I tried to put it in, I realized how impossible they made it, because the bracket that comes with it isn’t threaded, instead they give you a nylock, which needs a wrench to properly torque, but you can’t fit a wrench in there. Not overly worried, getting a flange lock nut for either side is cheap, shouldn’t be necessary, oh well. The next thing I noticed was that there’s no adjustment bracket or anything and the factory one isn’t usable, so this thing is completely free to move up and down as much as it wants. That’s when I got mixed feelings. So I then flipped the light over, and realized just how bad the gap is, And that was the tipping point. It looks awful. You might be able to hide it with some creative rubber gasket solution, and done right might mitigate the bouncing, but boy does it look bad.

It was a bit frustrating that the unit comes with no instructions. The mounting bracket uses 3 screws in a triangle pattern so really only one way. The included bolts were slightly too thick for the holes in the trim ring. I initiated a return but then decided to revisit the install. Drilled out the holes a hair and it all worked. The bracket is not very adjustable and I found I needed to angle it down as much as I could while tightening the nuts. I opted to skip wiring for the parking light since there is no switch for that on my Vstar 650. I do like the dark look on the bike.

Attempted to install but once connected the light would not turn on at all.Very little explanation for the red wire. Some images of other customers it seems the red wire is just left unconnected. Some seem to use it somehow.Really wanted this to work but decided to return before my window closed

Definitely is plug and play for the Yamaha Bolt. Noticeably brighter than the stock headlight and it ships with the same mounting bracket you would have to purchase separately if you go with the super expensive Denali headlight. The high-beam runs simultaneously with the regular driving lightwhen activated. So far I’m very impressed with this unit. Only time will tell if the was a super buy. Hopefully I never have come back and update this review if there are any negatives.Edit-11/4/20: One summer down and no issues. Also people complained about uneven gaps between the light and housing. Use the washers that are on you OEM light if needed. You can go with both or just one.

I love it on my Yamaha StrykerIt will require a seal ring around it to seal the gapYou can get it for $7

This product is awesome the light is very bright very easy to install love it

I really like this light. Quality for money is good. One question - Why would the largest center projector lens NOT provide light? Do I have a bad one or is this the odd design? The photos in description seem to say the center project is.... just for show. Everything else great. Happy and Safe riding all.

Doesn’t come close to fitting the Yamaha Bolt

Not to bad for the money not a perfect fit but ok And still looks good
