Default fatbob headlight conversion

can anybody post a close up picture of their street bob headlight and bracket? Id like to switch my fat bob head light to a more traditional round headlight. Ive seen some conversion brackets just wondering If I can just buy the street bob housing/light

Why? That's literally it's most defining characteristic, is the reason I bought mine. Just trade for a street bob, seems like that would be a more logical choice than ruining the looks of the Fatbob. To each their own.

I would have liked to make that change when I had my fat Bob. It was the only thing I didn't like about the bike. Maybe a bigger tank, but I managed with that. Will follow this topic. If it's an easy change... who knows 🙂👍

Can't get much easier than this Mart.

To the OP, I'm sure Harley will be absolutely delighted to sell you any headlight you care to think of. Though the Street Bob one does appear a little lost in between those huge yokes.

The street bob headlight isn't that bright. I find it to be crap in the dark. Can't imagine would be brighter than the fat bobs. Would've went with a 7" light on the fatbob for a light and fit.

+1. I love the headlight. But FWIW, I bought the fat bob for the wheel base and lean angle. I love ripping around on it compared to my bagger.

This looks like a Street Glide fairing and headlight. Likely a pricey upgrade.

Sport Glide, not Street Glide.

Default Is there anyway you can post close ups of the way the headlight is mounted? I v got the headlight and the fairing and a mount bracket from bungking but I need some kind of mounting block that I can’t find.
