07 FXDC Headlight options
Anyone replace their headlights with aftermarket ones? I am looking to replace the whole thing but options seem limited. Wondering if anyone has any sites to check out other than JP Cycle and the other mass retail ones.

RE: 07 FXDC Headlight options
Options not really limited at all. \\; May seem so if you are looking for something that says it specifically fits a dyna. \\; All you really need to look for is a bottom mount headlight. \\; There are 3 wires going to the stock headlight, one of them is a ground. \\; A lot of aftermarket lights use only 2 wires (1 for high beam, 1 for low) and they ground to the bike when installed. \\; There are several brands and styles out there and prices range from $100 on up. \\; I don't buy anything from J&\\;P and others - too expensive. \\; Check out ebaymotors or easternperformance.com. \\; Mine is a 5.75" x 9" chrome bullet light from EP.

Thanks for the input. I am thinking of going with a square dual light. Found one the other day and now can't remember where? First the hair went now the mind! \\;

Everyone seems to be going 5 3/4x9 so I went 4 1/2x7 from Eastern Performance $100

RE: 07 FXDC Headlight options
is it possible to put a larger headlight on the FXDC, maybe a 7"?
I think a 7" headlamp on a Dyna would look ridiculous, personally. I sometimes have second thoughts about my 5.75" &\\; wonder if I should have went with the 4.5"? Bigger headlamps look good on bigger bikes IMO, sporty Dyna's look good with smaller sportier headlamps. Just my 2 cents.

I put a 4.5" on to start with. \\; I liked it but some said it looked too small and I came to agree with that. \\; 5.75" is plenty big. \\; I agree with Ian, 7" is probably too big but with that said, it would probably fit. \\; Just beware fitment if you have a windshield.
