Default 4" headlight....

So had a old 4" headlight in the garage so I bolted it up. What do you think

Needs to be black housing


I'm thinking after a few beers. 23" front hoop. 18x5.5 rear hoop. Monroe air shocks to slam rear when parked and drop the front end too

Go with some 6" ish dirt bike style handlebars

Something sort of funky.

Thoughts

For me, the smaller headlight doesn't work aesthetically. Moreover, the stock lighting on these bikes is bad enough, I would never want to reduce the light output by going smaller. While I'm at it, I don't like bigger wheels on HDs either... just don't look right.

All that said... it's your bike so do whatever makes you happy and ignore old fuddy-duddy naysayers like me. Your opinion is the only one that counts.

What model is that old Yamaha in the background? I used to have a '80 XJ650 Maxim and I loved that thing. Unfortunately I had to let it sit too long once and ruined the carbs (ethanol gas). Even after rebuilding them all I never could get it to run right.

I love FI - but I still only put real gasoline in all of my engines from my weed eater to my truck.
