Hopefully this doesn't pi$$ off too many fat bob owners on here. I would like to change out my dual Fat Bob headlight for a single big headlight. I have big plans for this bike. Does anyone have any suggestions what headlight to use? Is it easy to switch out the headlight? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much

 

I got a Cobra ll Bullet style headlight and for the money you cant beat them. $99 shipped from Easternperformance.

Its a easy install. The stock light is 3 wires (ground, high, low) and most after market lights will just be 2 wires (high and low). They ground to the base so you just disregard the black wire when splicing in the new light.

 

It's an easy switch once you decide which one you're going to go with...that's the hardest part.

 

Good on ya. thats the one big thing I hate about the Fat Bob, that ugly=a$$ twin headlight.

 

I used a stock Fat Boy headlight from a 2007 Fat Boy. I got it on eBay for $60. I had to buy a couple of connectors and some heat shrink because of the install method I chose but that's all.

 

5 3/4 bullet headlight from HD is my choice, I think it would ROCK on a fat bob!

After installing the new mount block and attaching light to the mount...

...all you do is plug the wires into the old headlight clip, it's literally a SNAP!

The Fat Boy headlight is probably what your looking for (really big headlight). I have Wide Glide triple clamps on my Low Rider which would be the same spacing as your front end, I'm using a 5 3/4" Deuce headlight with a mount from a Sportster Custom, (photo below and more in the link in my signature).

There's also another Deuce shaped headlight that is larger 6 1/2", which I think came on the earlier Springers and might be a perfect fit (not too small, not too big).

I think the 7" light would fit just as fine. No part of it really sits inside the forks.

 

dang, now i just have to decide, 6 1/2 or a 7 incher! ahhh the choices!!!!

 

I put a Headwinds 7" mariah on the mid glide forks. Looks massive.

Put a 7" on the fat bob forks and you'll look mean. Mean like you wanna go eat your neighbors children
