yeah i tried ebay but almost everything on there says "harley or custom application", and i would rather have one that uses the original plug rather than switching to a two wire light that i have to wire in. but im not ruling that option out as i just had to rewire my rear signals and i have an electrical background. but i want to know what kind of aftermarket options were out there when considering a good quality bottom mount headlight.

www.easternperformance.com they have some inexpensive lights that work well and are good quality. You will need to wire em up. Use posi-lock connectors: http://www.customdynamics.com/posilock_connectors.htm

Dude, you're putting Way too much thought into this. Motorcycle headlights are still fairly primitive and in the end, whatever looks best to you is what you should run. If you like that headlight, Get it man!

It really is fairly easy to do. i bought a fat boy style 7" headlight and the actual plug in that is stock on my street bob fit the headlight. So it was basically a plug-n-play thing. Good luck in what you choose.

I went with a 08 Fatbob 7" headlight. I like the look and it lights the road MUCH better. You can fit almost anything on an FXST. Just pick what you like and bolt it on.
