Default Fat Boy Headlight on FXDC

Has anyone installed a Fat Boy or similar style headlight on their FXDC. I'd be interested in what they used and how they installed it.

Don't know if this will help. I have a Fat Boy Low head light on my custom Dyna with a Wide Glide front end. You just have to get new mounting hard wear.

That looks like a Wideglide Headlight block you are using? Is that all you needed?

The mounting block is a special one from Harley. It angles in so it brings the headlight closer to the neck of the frame.

The bars are Wild 1 Chubby bars. Six inch rise.

Anyway you could take a closer pic? I wonder if it could be mounted backwards to push the light out just a bit? I need something like that for my fairing...I made a bracket that works but would rather have something stock looking ish...

If you get the stock mounting block it will bring the headlight forward a little. Go to the dealer have them look in a Fat Boy Low parts book and check it out for you.

P/N for the special extended block. 69611-06

Price I paid last year, $41.99.

Can't find a photo of the block. Harley has the wrong photo on their web site. Every dealer site I go to has the wrong photo. They must be getting the photo from Harley's web site.

Google the part number and you will see what I mean.
