Wow Eric, thanks for doing that. I wish I had those photoshop skills. And I think it will look WAY better when I change the position of the light. It'll be a while before I can get to a machine shop but I'll post some pics as soon as I get it done. Thanks again man.

I put the headlight on, looks good, I used a 1.5" extender from headwinds, I replaced the reflector with my Ultra deflector and a Hella 100 what bulb. The light/lamp that came with it had a ground wire attached to the housing, I cliped it off because I used the stock plug and harness. Is it okay not to have that ground? the stock bulb/reflector didnt have a ground. I seem to be getting a drain on my battery, its a new battery, when I hook up my smart tender, the thing gos into charging mode, leave it off for a day and try again and it gos into charge mode again, same after a ride. Any ideas what might be drawing the charge? Can it be the ground that I clipped?
the headlight swap was pretty much plug and play. removed the wire connectot from the plug and pulled the stock harness from the light with the grommet. Put it back together with the FB light
For the aux. lights i made some mounts attach to the tree clamp bolts. actually replaced the bolts with longer and added spacers which i also made, then polished it all. Relocated the signals at the same time. Spent a good day on the whole project.

OK now I'm just being indecisive. While the mounting block is a great idea, I came across this dual mounting bracket on ebay and I think I like this look. It'll get me back to having a dual headlight which the Fat Bob probably should have, and they'll be much bigger, which is the reason I'm not fond of the stocker in the first place. Any thoughts on this one guys?
The problem is, its going to be a couple hundred more in mods, added to the apes, primary cover, rocker covers, and turn signal relocation that I'm already doing this spring. I need more money
