Default There's a repacement now!!!
It kinda sticks out a bit, doesn't really bother me, I may look into a different (non offset) mounting block. I like it, kinda like a springer headlight. Couldn't stand the non traditional bug eyes for another second...discuss...

I like the stock dual headlights... that's part of the reason I got the Fat Bob. But...

I like what you did benwiggin2. It looks like the headlight might be sitting a little low though. I like the color... is that sating black or wrinkle black?

BTW... you need to clear or smoke out those turn signals...

You can pretty much install any kind of headlight. The Fat Boy headlight might be a little too big. I have a Low Rider with Wide Glide triple clamps which would be the same space as a Fat Bob. I installed a 06 Deuce headlight with a chrome mount from a 06 Sportster Custom to raise it up a bit.
