I haven't myself, but they are very cool and retro and popular on the classic/vintage H-Ds.  And now that I know Summit has them for $24.95 I want one!  They do actually have a neat effect at at night.

I ordered $29.92 with shipping. Lets see it should fit. I had the nfieldgear adjure 7" tribar halogen previously.

Thanks

Kinda neat with a turn signal lens built into the bottom of it.

That could be used for the "gray" wire in the UCE casquette that powers the headlight "parking light" that some 7 inch headlights have.

I probably wasted upward of a grand on aftermarket lighting over the years in search of better lighting.

The Bosch 0 301 600 118 head lamp is awfully hard to beat.
 
 My advice is to Google around the web for information other than ad copy before placing an order for any light.
No matter where you go, there, you are.

BUT, how does the pitifully weak dynamo in the RE handle a halogen light.?

Somehow they do. I have a Halogen Tri bar in REnfield, 5 years and going strong. Got to have a good (preferably AGM) battery and no worries.

My Halogen lights were never a problem, except that they were always dim. HTe problem ws int he wiring somewhere and I finally got tired of looking for the problem and wired the headlight directly through relays. The problem was solved, Bright lights, no other problems. I used the Tribar with halogen lamps, and sealed beam lights with no problems.

I have a similar light but with a pilot bulb instead of the bottom directional, which I think is done for Left & Right on a CAR. I'm guessing  it may not put as much light DOWN on the road as my fully diamond cut scatter pattern reflector (which may not be road legal in all states), which uses a correct watt Xenon bulb & LED blue Pilots, for the Enfield.
