Default headlight pics.....

Thinking about putting a larger 7" headlight on my Bob. Anyone else here done so cause I want to see them to get an idea of what looks nice. I feel the stock one is too small for the width of the front end.

Yes and I agree with you.After I changed my triple trees the OEM headlight looked way too small so I had a friend who got me a deal on an Xsighting Lighting HID headlight. I think it is 5&3/4 inches wide and 10" long. Anyway I think it looks great and the light output is super good.

How hard was it to install? I have been thinking about going to the HID light but dang it is expensive.

7" diameter is huge for a dyna. Too big I'm thinking but then I haven't seen one to judge. I have a 5.75" x 9" on mine. Cost me $100 and I installed it myself.

The street bob has a large front tree assembly and wider and larger fork tubes than most softails. This is the one I am thinking about going with.

Nobody is comparing to a softail that I can see. As far as I know, you have the same front end I have. Anyway, that ligth looks nice and will probably be fine. But I've still not seen a 7" light on a dyna.

Here is a 7" headlight from a Fatboy I bought off Ebay for $50. I had the bucket powdercoated black. This is the headlight that should have came on the Street Bob in my opinion!
