I'm trying to figure if I can fit a Fatbob headlight on my FXD,by modding the bracket,but I can't picture how far forward it would need to go to fit the triple tree(i'm in England the bikes in Tn)any thoughts or opinions,or better still has anybody done it.
Cheers,Brit.

Several people on this forum have already done it and it looks great,adds a big roadburner look to the bike.I bought a complete used one in perfect condition and plan on mounting it with the bracket that came with it(when it gets warmer).Use the search engine and type in fatboy headlight to see some pictures.Look up member MARKSBOB and send him a private message,he is located in North Wales,U.K. Others who have done it are sniper77,DOUGM AND SHIMMON.Sorry,GRIND has caught my mistake I misread your post and thought you were looking for a fatboy headlight,I need another cup of coffee.

Reason: I made a mistake
Thanks,for the replies guys,so far it looks like no one else has done this mod,or measured it up.Looks like i'll have to wait till i'm back in Tn.& take the plunge.

Tnbrit...not sure what you're looking for but the answer is yes it can be done. If you're worried about fit, why not ride down to your local dealer and measure the fatbob light as it sits on that bike. You can also inspect how it mounts. Then just take that knowledge to install on your bike.
i like that rear fender on your bob,, what did it come off from? and i also see you changed out your headlight,, do you still have the duals? and if so, are you selling?
