New Headlight Thoughts Please

I am looking to put a new Visor style headlight on my 07 SB and I am undecided on if I should get a 4.5 " Or a 5 3/4 "
Any thoughts
Thanks

my thought is that every HD I've seen with a 4.5 just does not look right.
too small

I really don't like the look of them on HD's they look like the belong on a metric. Just me 0.02.

Personally I don't like the smaller (Even the stock HD H/L) on the SB with the 49MM forks. I think it looks out of place or just gets lost.

I went larger and old school with the sealed beam.

Just my opinion.

I prefer the 5 3/4"

2007FXDC had the 4.5 and switched to the 5 3/4. Surprised he hasn't chimed in here yet...

Another option to look at - this one. Quite a few people here are using this light, including my sig pic...

What he said. That and a mount that moves the headlite out a little bit from the triple trees and swap the black shell for a chrome one.

Damn,wait a minute,I coulda bought a new headlite.
