Default Black Denim Headlamp??
I have seen this lamp on a few sportsers and dynas and wanting to install it on the SB. Anyone know where I can find this lamp, but for a cheaper price than 130? thanks

I would think it'd be cheaper to find a similar shaped bullet light and paint it flat black.

I've used some flat black paint from lowes that I got for around $3 a can on my old bike and it turned out good. Might be worth a try and if it doesn't turn out you can pay the stealer their hefty price and chalk the first run up as practice. I wasn't painting the headlight but painted a chrome oil bag with it. Good luck.

I'm no expert so you might want to get another opinion first, but what I did was "rough" the surface up with some fine grade sandpaper, if you get anything too rough you'll end up seeing the scratches. I actually sprayed it with a coat of primer first too so the paint would stick better, so sand lightly, primer, then paint (a few light coats always worked better than 1 heavy coat for me, once the paint runs it's back to step 1 and have to go find your sandpaper again)
