Default Help/thoughts: Changing Fat Bob headlight

Hey guys,

New to this forum but found some great advice so far. I want to change my 2009 Fat Bob headlights and replace them with a light similar to the Fat Boy headlight. Can this be done with the twin headlight mount? My dealer said it could be done with a lot of mod's and quoted $400 just for parts... I think I could probably do it cheaper.

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated.

Fatboy Headlight is on mine... It happen to come off a 2002Fatboy and It came with the original mounting block for that headlight as well as the 3inch ring instead of the 1inch which I thought turned out nice... Anyway I paid 40bucks shipped on ebay but you can usually expect to pay between 40-75 for a used one on ebay... There is a pick in my sig.. also If you can help it try to get part of the wiring harness with is so you just cut and splice... hope this helps

I just ordered a Doss Custom 7" for my bike for around $90.00 shipped. The OEM Fat Boy Headlight from the Dealer is about $300.00 plus dollars. Highway robbery.
