Fatboy headlight question
i cut down a stock block a bit and re threaded it to make it sit a bit lower in the trees... i love it! granted mine is not a fat boy lamp but it is a 7.5... i am all about lines... i wanted the visor to be perfectly in line wiht the top of the tree... ya ya ya i know i have issues

you do not need to get a custom black... just space it... you can add 2 fender washers under the block and get a lift... if you want to go up a full inch you are going to have to space it further out from the trees as well

but the mount is in the middle bottom of the light, i do not think it will clear the upper tree... granted mine is much deeper than a stock Ft boy light... and i can be mistaken but i think you would have to go out about 1/2 in before going up, still easy to make that bracket. i could be mistaken on your mount

I trimmed the stock detachable HD windshield to fit the light.

I have noticed several threads about changing out the stock dual headlight on the fatbob. Why change it, is it a preference on looks or is there an advantage in the change? Just curios.

Yes and no...there are no mounting bosses on the trees to bolt the tins to. You can get a kit from J&P to adapt the tins to wide glide trees but I think it is designed for 41mm forks. I haven't seen the kit so I don't know if it could be tweaked to fit. Had I found the kit before I bought the Fat Boy front end I could tell you whether it would fit or not.
