I've started working on my mods for this winter: 2" tank lift, 21" front wheel, lowered suspension, and headlight. Well, I've ordered the lift kit from Jackyl, and I've nailed down the wheel and suspension choices. But, now I'm stuck on the headlight...
I went to take the ugly headlight cover off of my 2000 FXD, and found that it's not just a cover - it's the whole mount for the headlight! For those that removed this part, how did you mount your headlight to the fork tubes? Is there an aftermarket mount that can be used? Also, what did you do (if anything) to dress up all of the wires behind the headlight that are exposed when the cover is removed?
Thanks for all the help so far, and thanks in advance for help with the headlight. Don't know what I'd do without this forum!
Any on seen a single headlight replacement of the dual on a fatbob, am thinking of using the extra space to put turn signals there.
I, like several other members on here, changed out my dual headlight for a single Fatboy style 7" headlight. It doesn't leave extra room for turn signals, but I love the look. You'll find a lot of Fat Bob "purists" saying that the Fat Bob isn't a Fat Bob without the dual headlight. Its your bike though, so do with it what you will. Here's a few pics of mine with the big headlight:
