RE: Bottom Mount Headlight on a Super Glide
It's done on all of the Wide Glides. The headlamp shell is bolted through the lower triple clamp and I don't see any reason that you couldn't do that with a Low Rider or Superglide, although you'd have to find just the right headlamp bucket to fit between the the fork tubes and look good. Could be an interesting look.

RE: Bottom Mount Headlight on a Super Glide
i did this on my fxd. I was told I could just drill a hole in my bottom tree and mount a bottom mount headlight.
I didn't like that idea so I bought a bottom tree, headlight and chrome cover to cover up the top mounting holes (all stock on a sporty custom)
I like the end result.

I think I may be able to find all the part numbers if I did through my papers if you want them.
(I don't own this bike anymore...unfortunately) The bars were Wild 1 chubbys I think they were 8" rise.

lower triple tree (xl custom) 45561-87
headlight (xl custom) 67881-96a
headlight mount (xl custom) 67919-96
chrome cover-upper triple tree 67861-96
that should be all you need.
you're probably looking at approx $500-600 for the parts.

I took the wheel and fender off my superglide,drilled 1 hole,made sure it was close to dcenter,went a little bit oversize to be sure,and mounts the XL custom h/l and standoff.My bike is an 02,i did it back then and it's been fine for 80,000 miles.I also used the chrome top tree cover as well.I went a bit oversize on the hole,so i'd have room to adjust it if need be.I also used a wide trim ring on the headlight,and it resembles a custom teardrop
