Default Headlight options: FXDL

Ok. I want to move the headlight to the lower triple & lose the headlight cover, but am having a hard time deciding on a headlight.

I was thinking of the dual light, but the seller said it "was about 10" across and 5" high. It is about 4" deep" but he was guessing. I think he's FOS : )

2nd would be the cheapest & easiest but plain jane...

Any other suggestions?
I know I'm getting the top-tree cover from Headwinds so I can just plug my idiot light cluster in there & clean up the "void" left there.

(ps. I know there are other threads on this, but they are old & the pictures are gone)

IMO the Duals would look "tuff" but the single is more chopper-esque.

To each their own. I hate the FatBob for the duals, so IMO I'd run the single.

Yeah. I don't think the dual would fit in there anyways. My bike is an 01 & it's pretty narrow in there. The single should be tucked in there nicely.

Thanks....

Never been a fan of the duals, but whatever floats your boat.

I drilled my lower tree and put a super glide custom headlight on. They make a cover kit for the upper tree where the top mounted light was at.
Good luck

I went with a Headwinds headlight on a Headwinds mounting block.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

BigDaddy (lol. I feel weird for typing that) do you have any close ups of the headwinds bracket? I can't even see it on there. (a good thing)

I think I would like my light tucked in between the forks a little more.
I think I'm going to go w/ the original black light I posted above. Looks like the stock headlight & is small enough to fit between the forks.

I don't have a close up shot, but here is a link to the page on Headwinds web site.
