Nope, I'm pretty sure that's a unique, creative idea no one else has tried. Make sure to post some pics when you're done! Thanks for breaking new ground.

Try searching or scrolling down a few posts to "Installing a 7" headlight"

I'm searching for this now, and all the forums that come up are telling people to search. It's a catch 22

You might be able to find a take off headlight. I've seen quite a few FB's with aftermarket headlight buckets.

Saw a pic of a 'Bob on here last week that had a FB headlight.
Looked comical to me, but it is your bike!!

I did it to the wifes superglide over the winter, which is the same as the bob. Got a take off from a cvo fat boy. Chrome bucket with the dual halogen headlight. With a slight mod to the h9 high beam bulb, I ran the 65 watt h9 in the high and low beam holes. It was a direct bolt on, but I did make my own block, to move it closer to the forks. I also modded the windshield with a mini saws all to fit the bigger bucket.

Heres a few pics of the 7" bucket. I think it looks pretty good with the quick release windshield.
