Default Converting Low rider headlight mount to bottom

In the process of adding bars to my 2014 low rider. Everyone knows about the dumb top mount headlight that has to be relocated, so I’m looking for a used street bob assembly with the bucket, mounting bracket and mounting block for the triple tree. I just can’t find what to search for on eBay to get the best results. Any ideas or experience of how to find the entire used assembly so I don’t have to buy the DK customs bottom mount kit and a new headlight bucket?

You may not have to relocate it. my lowrider has aftermarket bars and risers with the top mounted light

What year is your low rider? The 14 and up have adjustable risers built into the headlight brow. Gotta remove all that to swap risers

I ran into the same problem. I have a 14 FXDL and swapped for taller risers and track bars. I got this headlight with bucket and mount on ebay and has been working great for years now https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-3-4-LED-H...53.m2749.l2649

that looks like a good deal! Does it mount straight up to the bottom triple tree or did you need an additional mounting block?

It came with a mounting block to mount on the tree just like the other dyna models
