eastern performance cycle 4 1/2 bullet light

Has anyone installed one of these on their 04 Low Rider?

Personal choice but I think the 4 1/2 looks to small.

I have the Cobra ll 5 3/4 from eastern performance and I am very happy with it. The bulb sucked but that was a easy replacement.

I have the 5 3/4 Cobra II on my 04 lowrider. Do you have an install question or looking to see a pic? I would think they both install pretty similar.

I have an install question, I must drill a hole in the lower tree to mount it. My lower tree has a channel in it so the hole must be drilled in the middle of it, the offset that they provided seams like it is going to be too short. What did you do?

Might just have to get a new mount.

I also had to buy a headlight mount for a springer similar to the one below to get the headlight out far enough from the frame of the bike. The one that came with it was just to close.

All in all it took me 3 or 4 mounts to get it right. I have them in a box somewhere. Since your headlight is the smaller one, maybe one of those will work for you. If you want I can take pics later and email them to you.

The one on the left is the one that came with my headlight. The one on the right was purchased and ended up just a little bit to small. I needed another 1/8 inch.
