Do you have a bullet headlight?
My '02 FXD has a stock, top mounted headlight in a scalloped casing and i want to put on a large, bottom mounted bullet headlight. I've seen plenty of other bikes here that have done that and I was wondering how difficult it is to wire the new light, clean up the original wiring and housing and what parts are needed besides a mounting block? here is the light i am thinking about getting. Thanks for your help

Did this on Mikes dyna, wiring is simple man same wires just cut, solder and good to go
it is tuff to see with all the black powder work, i cut and shaved the top, then powdered it to blend it in, lower tree drilled and tapped dead center. used a mill to cup up a headlight block with 2 mount points, and bolted it all on

I did this on my 04. Not bad at all. Remove the eyebrow and cut the wires. Solder to new light. I tapped a hole in my lower tree and mounted the headlight. To clean up the top tree I bought a piece from Headwinds which also allowed me to install the dummy lights there. All in all it came out clean. Not as custom as some others but clean.

Thanks MB...
Ron the headlight is a Cobra II. I picked it up at Eastern Performance for like $89 or somewhere around there.

I had to find a new mount as the one that came with it didn't fit my bike. I tried a few and finally found one meant for a Springer to fit an 04 front end. I still have the old ones if anyone needs one.
