Thought I would share my experience with upgrading the headlight on a 2017 Scout. I installed a J.W. Speaker 8690 Adaptive 2 LED 5 3/4" Headlight and am very pleased with the results. The light is much brighter and provides better coverage than the stock headlight. I took it out for a test drive last night and spent about 10 minutes making tight circles in a dark and empty parking lot. The adaptive feature works well and is very much in tune with the angle of the bike. I need to spend a bit more time riding at speed to give better feedback on the adaptive functionality.
The low beam coverage is phenomenal - I can see much more of the road. The light shines out much further in all directions and gives the rider an excellent field of view in the dark. The high beam is insanely bright. I can see it reflecting off of street signs hundreds of yards away.
The install was pretty straightforward and took about 20 minutes. It is plug and play with no need for rewiring. The stock headlight bucket and retaining clips hold the new headlight perfectly and I had no issues with fitment.
For the following images I aimed the headlight at a wall 25ft away.
