Default Headlights recommendation for Night Train

Need some 411 on headlights for my Night Train. I was considering Headwinds but I dont really know what size to get add to my bike. My bike is on the lift right now so I would like to see some pictures of some great headlights on some Night Trains.

nixon, nice project you have there. diggin the drive side brake and PM parts. i have an 06' deuce headlight and mount that i powder coated "wet black" and added the deep chrome trim ring from the stealer. its about 2 inches longer than the stock one. i get lots of questions and compliments about it and saved some $$. probably easy to come by over on the deuce forum for a fraction of the price.

Hey *****, thanks for the pointer and I really like what you did to your ride and especially your head lights. Great inspiration.

Beautiful bike!! I wish I'd bought a Night train instead of a Fatboy....Live and learn....

Guess I'll just have to black out my fatty...

hey bud I got the 5.75 x 7 Tribar. I know a few other guys have gotten lights from them too. good service, fast ship. I think they have an ebay site, dunno if the lights would be any cheaper in their ebay store or not. I also got my slotted black hand control levers through them too, they were on backorder everywhere else, but mine were at my doorstep in about four days.

Default What wheels are you running?

Hey NixonWho - Bike looks great. What rims are you using and did you stay with the stock front tire size?
