Okay folks, I'm asking the TWT knowledge database for opinions and ideas. This past Saturday I had a wash day for the bikes, my Z and my mom's Tahoe. Got everything washed and waxed and shiny and whatnot. I still need to get a new powerball and polish to clean up a few spots on the VROD, but regardless.
While washing my Dyna Glide I found that my headlight has a very tiny hole in it. It looks almost like someone shot a bb gun at it from inside as the inside where the pin hole is kinda warped. Other than that, the lens is fine. I am a little worried about getting caught in the rain and shorting it out, which would really be not good. Then, I noticed some fogging in tail lamp assembly. So, I'm guessing it's not sealed properly or something. I'm less concerned here simply because I know the bulbs are sealed, but I do not want to just ignore the issue.
So, here's my question: Is there a way to fix the parts, or do I just replace and go standard equipment, or do I upgrade to LED tail lights and a halogen head light? Sub question is, do I go factory and shell out for Harley labeled parts or can I find something just as good, if not better, through aftermarket parts folks?
My big concern is fitment, not logo, so I don't care if it has the Bar & Shield on it. I've also been thinking about adding some small driving lights to supplement the single head lamp, so it may be a good time to do that while I'm replacing parts.
Sorry, too many thoughts at once.
Thanks in advance gang.
