As said guys i have bought a 5-3/4" wide 9" long chrome Custom Headlight.
It mounts at the bottom but sits back way too far using the existing mounting block and the rear of the light is hitting the neck of the frame.
I have searched high and low for an alternative bracket but cant find anything.
I have seen lights similar on some of the bikes here so i know they can be purchased.
Can anybody help me out with a part number or another suggestion ?
Thanks

Are you looking for something like these? Try J&P Cycles or do a google. search, the parts you want are out there, it's just a matter of how far out you want the HL to go.

I just purchased a 5 3/4 X 8" light and had questions about the mount as well.
The info I received was from Member OhioSkully. He has the same light and recommened this mount whichhe provided the link to on eBay
Here is a Pic


I should have the light and mount by next week. I'll post any info after install.
This is OhioSkully's bike with the light installed. I think it looks Great and was the look and function I was going for.

Basically what was already said your going to have to use some of the mounts that the guys listed above. To get the light out off the neck

 

Skully , the light you have installed is exactly like the one i am trying to fit . . .. looks awesome mate.
I have found and ordered this from Guernsey HD.

Looks like we are are very familiar with the mount and the light. Have the same one on mine and spoke w/ Skully about his as well. Excellent light and love the look!

 

Yep Shorerider is the one that hooked me up with all my info and a big thanks to you man.

 

Did same on my 04 fxdwg. All the brackets I purchased " Almost made it ".
Finally drilled new holes in bottom of light, sealed old ones, moved mounting
baseand mounted on the factory lug. Could have saved $50 bucks if I did that first.

 

Not related to mounting issue, but the 5 3/4in, is that the diameter of the face of the headlight? Thanks.

 

Yes it is mate.
