Default Headlight Mounting

I have an 04 LR with the stock light, I just got a new bullet light from easternperformace. In looking at my triple tree the bottom is tapered sorta not flat. I need to drill a hole for the new light any advice on how to mount this light, or how to deal with the taper?

your lowrider could be different... but on my 08 bob, you could unbolt the OEM headlight mounting tab and bolt the new tab to the tree... but i ended up using my OEM tab with the new headlight i mounted...

your new light or your trees could be totally different than mine, would have to see it to know for sure.

Just drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom tree and mount the heqadlight, if you are close to Harley shop go look at a Sportster custom and see how the light is mounted, and then check out headwinds website for a bracket to hold your indicator lights it mounts the same place the eyebrow mounts hope this helped.

Thanks for the info, that's what I need to see another one to see how they did it.
