They look great !! I wish they made the mounting brackets, aluminum for weight reduction, and the front cover between the lights, carbon fiber, but I’m loving the easy plug and play just like all their other products
I bought Kleen Moto's mounting kit for the Rigid Adapt XP lights. I love the look and it's a great DIY project. All my other lights are Custom Dynamics though.
Thanks for making this video my Shark Demon got delivered yesterday and I cant wait to install it on my 2018 CVO, Hope I dont have too much trouble with my anp.
i agree with the lighting being a huge thing that helps with the safety aspect of being seen. which is why I have a glow set on my bike which during the say is white and during the dark hours its turned to orange so I still can be seen easily at night.
I personally think the light bar across the front is the next move. I have Baja Designs lights right now. I would have purchased these if they were available last year. Glad to see CD join the party. DOT approved is a definite plus. Thanks for the video John.
They look so good on there! I also noticed your front low pro turn signals stay white with the turn signal I think you are missing the wiring harness that plug in between the light and the oem blinker plugs. I had the same thing until I plugged in the two harness’s that came with the blinkers.
Yeah it’s a direct lazy rip off, great that it is dot approved but doesn’t make up for being a lazy company. I’m actually getting rid of all my custom dynamics stuff cause of this move.
I believe that you may not be aware of the concept of competitive competition, which ultimately benefits us as users. Nevertheless, it is astonishing that BD did not endeavor to promote its products in the motorcycle field. But is this practice inappropriate? Suppose BD directly sold its products for motorcycle applications; would it still be considered inappropriate? If a single company dominates the market, they tend to overprice their products. However, if another company of comparable products enters the market, price points improve, and so does the quality of merchandise. Take Harley and Indian as a prime example. Without Indian making waves, Harley would not have made any progress and would still be using outdated engines and technology since no competition existed. BD is not and never will be categorized as such because its intended purpose is for off-road use.
This is a game changer. I live in comifornia where traffic rules n ploicy is ridiculously strict and suxs. My buddy got a citation the other day in HB Ca for having off road lights. Wish CD makes one for my 7 inch on softail. I do have H3 dyna plug.
How are the shark demon lights compared to the double x headlight? Which do you like better, which lights up better. I like em both, but i prefer function. Whichever one lights the road better, would be the one i go with. One of my stock lights went out, so its time to upgrade.
I'm thinking of getting this set up. The only thing that is holding me back. I have amps behind the headlight for the stereo. Do you think water can still get through the bracket or is it sealed pretty good?
Hey John nice install. And not sure if you know but if you hook up the transformer module for those low profile turn signals they will be more yellow and the white light will go off when the turn signal is on. Keep the great footage coming
It’s pretty sweet and looks awesome. I still kind of lean towards the lamps that are slanted and look like mean eyes. Nice job explaining the install and touching on adjustments etc. Black paint is notorious for swirl marks. It may be time to address this. Time for a paint correction. Just a suggestion. Your bike is way to sweet to let that roll like that. 👍👍👍
I don’t have a problem with cheap knock off look-alikes. However, I do have a problem with this video. you are clearly not an advocate for DOT approved or legal products on your bike, which is evidenced in the amazing build of Mad Max. I love that bike. It just seems disingenuous to primarily promote a product because of its DOT approval instead of its performance because I know you are all about performance. I know you have to pay the bills, but please stay true to the core of who you are. Much respect.
First off, my performance upgrades that I did to my bike, will never affect anyone else other than myself. But a non-approved headlight that shines into oncoming traffic, that could possibly cause an accident does affect someone else If you put a non-approved, DOT headlight in your bike, and it’s not approved for the road you could possibly create an accident Where as none of the performance upgrades done to my bike will affect anyone. I wasn’t trying to convey the legality of it, but more so in a sense of safety
Full disclosure, I have had the bd headlights on my 2017 RG for a year now. The safety factor for me being seen is very noticeable. It has become a rare occurrence that someone pulls out in front of me. I hope your CD’s do the same. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Mad Max! Thanks for hearing me out.
I got my lights installed and on the way home from work I heard a weird noise. It looks the vents are flopping around. Is there a way to better secure them. Thanks. Wes.
Your 22 road glide looks fantastic. I just bought a new 24 whiskey fire road glide and love it, but your black and chrome beauty looks amazing how it's done. Black and chrome or take it home! 😎
So when you originally installed the fang led lights and vent screens, you had to remove 1 stock plastic pieces per side. Are they reused with the demon or did you just go without?
Can you furnish me a link for that shied on madmax that you don't own any more. Also the links to the following, hand guards, and fog lights. Thank you in advance
I like it. But but not crazy about the opening on the outer side of each light. Seems a little unfinished, like something should fill in that space. Looks great on your bike though.
Those are dope, I went the budget route. KNS customs uses the Amazon special aux lights and mounts them onto a bracket. It’s cool though because they’ll put a bar and shield inlay into the spot light portion. Only problem is they’re TOO bright I get flashed by every oncoming vehicle. So I’m gonna try to tint them with yellow tint, try to cut them down a little bit. But I can see a mile ahead lol
I like your channel and i like custom Dynamics but I have to say they totally ripped off Baha designs light and acting as though they are doing a different light. I don't think that is good business. They did not have enough creativity to come out with a different design? Sorry but I am disappointed in custom Dynamics. I expect this from a Chinese company but American companies doing that to each other is not cool.
The funny thing is everything I’ve bought from CD has a made in China sticker. I’m sure these will be on Amazon in a few months for a few hundred bucks 😂
Basically was going to comment the same thing. The fact he doesn’t acknowledge it’s an obvious rip off of Baja designs is lame too. I get it you get this stuff for free but come on man. They also ripped off the bracket from a certain company that shall not be named. And compared to the real deal these are not bright at all
I've made a couple of comments above about this, but in short, BJ was never intended for motorcycle applications. The brackets have been mimicked by 5 different companies, but now CD does it, and it is wrong?
@@ro9949 I understand that they are discussing the lights, and I would like to clarify that CD is not attempting to claim BJ's lights as their own. The light design in question is one that I have noticed being used by many other companies and is not exclusive to CD.. Baja Designs never produced these lights for motorcycles, and still doesn't manufacture them for such purposes. Therefore, does it actually matter if CD's design bears similarities to Baja Designs? Other companies opted to transform them into motorcycle lights by assembling other parts together, but still using BD lights. In reality, CD lights are never going to be used for off-road vehicles since they were not built or commercialized for that specific use. BD will be just fine with their current application usage cases.
@CYCLEFANATIX his (bike's, lol) body "looks" hot, but I like that more clean and original look like you have. Good news, wife said she likes the White Onyx Pearl (Sharkskin to a lesser degree) paint, you know what that means! Bunt's getting a new Road Glide! I had hoped she'd like the Golden White Pearl but she said nah.
To be completely honest. I like the simplicity X design vs the multiple little lenses.
I agree. Separate means more problems cleaning.
Glad you still have that Bad Boy! I’m already getting burned out on watching 24 model vids. lol 😊
Haha
I got mine Wednesday, can't wait to get it installed.
Looking Good John! Great for traveling. Stay Safe!
They look great !! I wish they made the mounting brackets, aluminum for weight reduction, and the front cover between the lights, carbon fiber, but I’m loving the easy plug and play just like all their other products
I bought Kleen Moto's mounting kit for the Rigid Adapt XP lights. I love the look and it's a great DIY project. All my other lights are Custom Dynamics though.
🔥🔥🔥Changed the look ! Mad Max looks nicer everyday - soon it will look as good as my bike “ Gray ghost “ 😂😂
Hell yeah !!!!
Looks crazy good! I just got mine delivered - can't wait to install it!
Awesome
"There's not much left I can do to MadMax" = time to get the '24 RG CVO ST.
Mines been on order for a week, cannot wait to install it
Looks absolutely amazing John love the look of the lights!!
Thanks for making this video my Shark Demon got delivered yesterday and I cant wait to install it on my 2018 CVO, Hope I dont have too much trouble with my anp.
Glad it helped
i agree with the lighting being a huge thing that helps with the safety aspect of being seen. which is why I have a glow set on my bike which during the say is white and during the dark hours its turned to orange so I still can be seen easily at night.
@Cycle Fanatix, Can you share some nightshot between your current and previous setup. Im interested so the coverage differences.
Awesome lights. I wish Custom Dynamics designed them to include the vent lights as well.
Looks great John ride safe and enjoy
I'm just wondering if this fits with the Rockford Fosgate amp?
I was told by custom dynamics when I ordered mine that it only fits with the stock amp. There could be a different version though.
Looks sick. Would like to see it at night time. I'll be waiting for when you get a chance to capture it at night.
I personally like this look over the old
What are you going to do about the grill vents
Still need a Baker Grudgebox. Best upgrade out there. When you finally get it you should be thanking me in your review.
Don’t need it. Stock trans is good.
Save your money for some home repairs
Curious what brand are the front signal lights on your fairing
Custom dynamics
Nice review keep up the good work CycleFanatix
I personally think the light bar across the front is the next move. I have Baja Designs lights right now. I would have purchased these if they were available last year. Glad to see CD join the party. DOT approved is a definite plus. Thanks for the video John.
You know what would go really good with those new lights and finish off the performance bagger look....? Inverted forks 😎
Yeah !!!
DOT approved means they invested a few cents into stickers. Every Chinese brain bucket is DOT approved.
Yup. Minimal.
Excellent Video! Mad Max is Mean, and those lights are just plain Wicked!
Yes they are!
Did you have an aftermarket amp? I do and my bracket doesn’t fit. Waiting to hear back from them.
No, I do not, yes, they’re coming up with the solution for that
They really make the bike look newer I'm considering getting some
Can you put the vent inserts back in or don't they fit anymore?
No you can’t
@@CYCLEFANATIXthat's a bummer. I like my vent lights a lot.
@@traviswhitworth6506I know... that's too bad you can't
Looks like water can get around it and into the radio and guage area? Is this a concern?
There is a seal on the top, only one way to find out ride the bike
They look so good on there! I also noticed your front low pro turn signals stay white with the turn signal I think you are missing the wiring harness that plug in between the light and the oem blinker plugs. I had the same thing until I plugged in the two harness’s that came with the blinkers.
They’re not white and they look like that on camera, but they are Amber
Looks awesome!
Looks like the Baja Designs LP series lights.
Yeah it’s a direct lazy rip off, great that it is dot approved but doesn’t make up for being a lazy company. I’m actually getting rid of all my custom dynamics stuff cause of this move.
Yep Baja Design knock offs!!!!
i feel you on this, hate companies being lazy and not original. @@Jugrknotvlogs
Big facts... 100% a BajaDesigns DOT LP series KNOCKOFF.

BALLLLIN🤙🏼
Were the other ones not DOT approved? Looks like you could reinstall the side lights and grill.
No
Actually, yes... Baja Designs released a DOT legal version of their LP6's last year. This is copy-cat bullshit.
@@UnrulyRiderselling out like Harley for cheap Chinese junk. Baja Designs is American made too.
Looks great brother! Any insight if they might be coming out with the yellow and clear light option as well?
👀
How are the shark demon lights compared to the double x headlight? Which do you like better, which lights up better. I like em both, but i prefer function. Whichever one lights the road better, would be the one i go with. One of my stock lights went out, so its time to upgrade.
Both are super bright, but I would have to give it to the shark demon
Are you going to be doing some videos on the upcoming Daytona trip?
Absolutely
I'm thinking of getting this set up. The only thing that is holding me back. I have amps behind the headlight for the stereo. Do you think water can still get through the bracket or is it sealed pretty good?
I too would like to know this but by looking at the lights, I'd say lots of bug & water will get in there. Similar to Baja Designs.
@@mervehrich6140 Im thinking the same.
Holy cow man! What are you washing that bike with, a brillo pad & comet? 🤣
It’s black bro ever ever have a black bike
@@CYCLEFANATIX I have, as a former car care manager I could give some tips if you like. 😉
Hey John nice install. And not sure if you know but if you hook up the transformer module for those low profile turn signals they will be more yellow and the white light will go off when the turn signal is on. Keep the great footage coming
John, It looks like 3 of the LEDs on the windshiled trim light are out? Brake side.
You’re right good looking out, thank you
I just got a Road Glide…lighting is something I’m thinking of upgrading.
Pro Monkey has it installed on one of his bikes
Love the new headlights! Wish they made one for my flhtc 97 electra glide
Count me in for LIGHT DONATION!!! LMFAO
Love those lights! Much better than the Double X.
These look Killer but i'm curious. Do these not allow the use of the vent lights?
No, you have to take the grills off
It’s pretty sweet and looks awesome. I still kind of lean towards the lamps that are slanted and look like mean eyes. Nice job explaining the install and touching on adjustments etc.
Black paint is notorious for swirl marks. It may be time to address this. Time for a paint correction. Just a suggestion. Your bike is way to sweet to let that roll like that.
👍👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Yeah that’s bad ass!
Ciro needs to make low pro black front side marker lights. CD is cool but have mostly ciro
Great video and it looks amazing
Where is the best place to get an amber one for a street glide st
Would you know if they will be making a single for like say a street glide
Not sure
Cali Raised Moto, Baja Designs makes a single lamp for the street glide. These are a copy
Thank you. I'll take a look. im more of a fan of the Custom dynamics, but i check it out.
Did you have to adjust from the middle?
Looks good !

Video is coming
So when you originally installed the fang led lights and vent screens, you had to remove 1 stock plastic pieces per side. Are they reused with the demon or did you just go without?
I’ve had these for a year. They are called Cali Raised Moto , Baja Designs.
He’s a pedo they exposed him and there called Baja lights not Cali raised he only makes the bracket to mount
Ohh you mean that Convicted Child Molester!
@@fxlrsaz6363 Baja Designs lights are sold through more than one company...
Will the shark light fit a street glide?
Are you selling the old light?
It’s sold already
Thanks!@@CYCLEFANATIX
Does CD offer a yellow version or a yellow lens cover?
They will be offering a yellow option. I believe in April or May
Waiting on manufacturing from China. 😂
Really nice.
awesome
Professional money just did his install
Great info.
As for the install, can you add the screen lights or is that’s not an option anymore?
Thanks again
Ride Safe
Clean. I like that look much better than the Heterochromia look. Baggers out here looking like Max Sherzer.
keep up with the great videos
Thanks, will do!

Do you and the riders still meet up once a month on a Sunday
Hello John, the headlights also happen to have an E test mark. so that we can also drive them in Europe.
By the way,looks so good 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for sharing

Big John I have to be honest brother, I like the other look. The new lights are cool but not as sleek as the other version. Stay safe brother. 😉 🫡🤜🏼
Thx Mac
Looks like a BAJA Designs LP6's , it wouldn't surprise me if BD starts to look into a potential law suit
😂😂 Professional Monkey just posted his video installing these lights!
I'm 100% for DOT approved lights, and I wouldn't install anything else.
That said, insurance companies cover "stupid" every day.
As of 2-9, We have 40 Custom Dynamics Shark Demons ready to ship today!

Knock-off junk...
The only thing left to do is pick up the CVO ST so you can start all over! 🤘🏼
