After a few days of research, I'm set my heart on the 7" style headlamp for my 2013 Fat Bob. My question for everyone is, which bucket/headlight combo would you recommend? I've seen several different set ups, the Fat Boy seems to be most popular, but I'm not sure I like how far forward it sits. Are there any other options you would reccommend? Or just make my own mounting block to pull the bucket in towards the tank? I would like to do this mod without spending $400, but I also want something safe for the road. Thanks in advance

 

I love mine. Frenched trim ring because the Truck-lite LED housing sticks out about 1/4 inch. I probably do need to pull it in with a different mounting block.

 

Adjure make a 7" bucket for around $60 similar to the fatbob. Not very deep but sort of plain. Little powder coat and it would look better. I went with a bullet style 7". Yes it does look bigger. Getting powder coated right now. Once its coated I will see how it looks. There are give and take going bigger. Sacrifice a sleeker lower profile light for better performance with a bigger housing. If you ride a lot at night its well worth it. With the phase 7 you can't get much better in lighting.

 

Just replied to your PM from yesterday with all the details about my setup.

BTw...let's see some pics of your 'Bob!

 

Look at some of the headlamp mounts Headwinds offer, they quit a few different options.

 

Drag Specialties makes a Fat Boy style 7" in either chrome or black powder coat, fairly cheap but decent quality.
