Look back to the thread “2018 breakout headlight upgrade” you posted in. I showed a diagram of the current breakout top mount bracket that looked like it would be pretty difficult to adapt to another style. Again, unless the lower tree had a surface a traditional mounting block could be installed. Which may require disassembly and drilling to mount.

Not it a backyard projector it looks like.

When I first bought mine I thought about this. But the look of the stock headlight has grown on me, and it works wonderfully, so I dropped it from my mod list.

HD Stage II w/Torque Cam, covered by warranty
HD 3" Forward Foot Control Extension
HD Apes & Grips (Thunderbike short riser on order)
HD Tallboy Seat (Looking out for 3rd-party tallboy options.)
HD Cruise Control
HD Alarm/Remote
Custom Dynamics front and rear signal/brake lights
Ends Cuoio Bags
Trying HD 19" Windsplitter. Preparing to shorten. Will toss it if I can't eliminate head buffeting.
~10K miles... I'm a warm weather, country road rec rider who goes home at the end of the day.
I'm tall. Motorcycles are typically not very accommodating. But this model supports adequate adjustments to make it comfortable enough.
According to some, I apparently ruined it. But I like it. And changing bodies isn't an option.
Great weekend therapy. Excellent at carrying wine bottles home from tasting rooms. (Just tasting!)
