Default headlamp for 09 lowrider

I recently bought a new lowrider. I love everything about it, but I would like to replace the stock headlamp with a bigger one. I'm pretty new motorcycle customizing and don't know much about aftermarket providers. Is it possible/fairly easy to replace my headlight with a bigger one? Also, what are some high quality aftermarket providers that you recommend? Thanks!

Couple of things.....very easy to replace your headlight with another. Headwinds is a great source for a replacement but there are several out there, im sure someone else will pipe up. Secondly, if you get rid of your OEM headlight.....I WANT IT. That is of course if your going to part with it. Ive been looking for chrome.

Default thanks

I appreciate the help. I've been checking out a couple of websites, but there's not a whole lot of info on the size dimensions. They usually just give the diameter of the headlight, but from looking at the location of the headlight, it seems like the depth of the light would play a pretty important role too. MUUDYAPE- I can PM you once I figure out what to do. If I can get a quality replacement, then I guess the stock light would just be taking up space.

Check out all the other headlights on the other Harley's and see if there is one from another bike that you like. For an example, I used a Deuce headlight on my Low Rider, see here:

Also Check eBay for a custom headlight or a new take off from another bike: http://*******.com/3fn862

Wow! great looking pics!
just a couple more questions: Is it possible to mount a 7" headlight on my lowrider? Has anyone else done this, and if so do you have pictures? Thanks. This website kicks @$$

Take a closer look at that link I posted, one member responded that has what looks like a Fat Boy headlight.
