RE: Headlight sugestions

I got Rolandthe 4 1/2" French Tribar Headlight for his birthday, hesaid he wanted the smaller one.We haven't gotten it installed yet due to lack of funds (and it's not his birthday yet, so he can't have it!! [sm=laughat.gif]). Posted a pic of the headlight, though.

I'm installing this as soon as I save up the bucks....on my 06 bob...

Also, we saw a bike with this headlightat a showin Florida.I can't really tell if they are the same exact skulls or not. Here's a picture of that bike, it was pretty cool looking.

This headlight is a bit different...the guy is hand making a limited lot...note the extra details to the eye ridges, skull cracks, and teeth...skullman online and a couple of others have the smoother looking skull lights, but the eyes look wrong not as sinister

I'm working up the wiring to have the eyes modulate during the day and a low beam spotlight in the mouth...lol...My wife's going to kill me when she notices....

I figure on the bob...it's not so much about the paint as it is about the chrome...I know most people want to black out the whole bike...and that looks really cool...but I like the shiny bits...I'm hoping this headlight sticking out over the shorter front end of the bob, won't end up just looking silly...but I already have a skull theme going on with the bike and a headlight like this would either be that one part where you went to far or even worse the end of a project...LOL...

btw, I think the dual headlights are really cool looking on the harleys...If I don't end up doing something like this skull...I would be looking at some dual headlight kits...

That skull headlight is wild!! I went with something a bit simpler and a little more old school looking - powdercoated 5-3/4 with a cheap visor on a Headwinds mount that moved it up and out a bit:

Didn't like my stock light, either. Went with a visor trim piece as a (somewhat) cheap - $34 - temporary solution. Now I like it and will keep it that way.

Me Too.

i got a new trim ring and coated it black... changed the whole look of the bike! Kiwi put on a 7in lamp that looks pretty sick!

I like it ... pumps out the light a whole lot more than the stock without needing to upgrade the light ... I'm going to black it over the winter ... I think its about job number 30 on the list !

Okay Street2007bob,
Here ya go. Pictures of the HD 4-1/2" billet headlight on my Low Rider. Yeah, I like it better than the Jimmy Durante 5-3/4 nose job!
