I've always liked the conversion to the 7" headlight on a Fatbob, I think it looks good. OTOH the 5 3/4" looks good on the wide fork also. Decisions, decisions. Either way will look good.
EDIT: I just looked at the pic more closely and see that you went with a narrower front wheel and tire. I think the 5 3/4" will look much better than the 7" in that case.
Good luck with it and please post more pics as you change it up.

I always felt the 7-in was too big, on my fat boy I took the 7-in off and went to a Sportster bucket can, if fits very nicely.. As for my Street Bob it has the stock 5 3/4" bucket and again fits very well. You got to remember that these are only eight and a half inch on center front ends basically called a mid glide..
What is the diameter of the the dual light on the Fatbob?

Yeah i went with a 19" 110 up front, i haaated the 16" 130
I was debating the 5-3/4 because of that to actually. And with a 5-3/4 i can still use a wide glide front fearing of some sort to correct?
