Default New Dyna Owner!!

Greetings all!

I finally convinced the wife that the Bagger just wasn't my style. We bought a 2006 FLHTCI back in late 2005 thinking she would ride with me more often. Well, 2 years later we put all of 4000 miles on the bike, I decided enough was enough, so I rode it down to the local HD shop and traded it in on a 2007 Street Bob. I've only had it a week now and I absolutely love it. I know it's a totally different ride than what I had before, and I am grateful for that! I hated the bagger, just too much damn bike to move around.

Since I bought the "Bob" I've already discovered a few items that must be changed/updated. Any recommendations on the items listed below are greatly appreciated.

1. Headlight - last night was my first night ride - I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me, the stock headlight sucks.I'd like to replace it with a more stylish headlight, something similar to a bullet style, but I'd like to get something that will bolt up to the existing stock mount.

2. Side mount licesnse plate frame/holder - Want to get the plate to the left side of the bike, would like something with a built in light...ideas?

3. Handlebars - I like the stock bars, but would like something a little higher, maybe 2 inches or so.

Any recommendations you folks can give will be greatly appreciated!

Attached is a few pics of the bike.

Your headlight may just need to be adjusted up or down. My 05 Sporty and My 07 Bob were both "off" from the dealer.

Welcome from New Hampshire, I really love that paint job. Is that a HD custom?
