Default Fatboy headlight question

For you guys that have installed a 7" fatboy headlight I am wondering what you did to mount it with regards to the block between the lower tree and the lamp.

Thanks,
Chris

I used the stock block that came with the bike. Looked nicer than the one that came with the light..... with two thin washers, 'cause the mounting ears were just a tad wider apart than the block was thick. No problems.

The cutout on the Memphis Slim windshield is for up to a 7" headlight.
