St. Bob Head Light Swap
I bought a 7inch FatBoy head light. I want to switch out the stock Bob head light. Is it as simple as just running the new wires? Or are there going to be other issues I need to be concerned with? Talk about putting the cart before the horse.

I also purchased a fat boy head light from my local "Stealer", its an actual factory light, comes with the male end, was told if the plug is different which i haven't checked due to bike is in storage, that i can order the female plug with pigtails to wire right in.

here is the after pic
and the stock light
The fatboy headlight will come with a two wire connector because the ground is terminated in the bucket, where as your streetbob has a ground wire running back in the wire harness. I snipped the ground wire off the new bucket, and unpinned the new connector from the light, and reused my old connector. No wires cut, except the ground on new light which is not necessary since you allready have a ground in your connector.
