OP, that is one FUGLY headlight! If you're going to black it out, why not see if you can find a stock 5" take-off from a Slim or something?

I'm going to fab a bracket to push it back as much as I can. If I still don't like it I'll get a small one. It's way to big and sticks out way to get for me.

When you put it like that...I'll keep the springer light lol. I did some research and that's what I was assuming it was. I'll try to tuck it in so it isn't hanging out so far.
