Black out the shell, and put a satin grey on the ring, that would look alright

its cooler than stock but i like the bullet better. I bought the cobra2 ($99) and stuck the harley light in the housing (along with other members here) and think its bad ***. Love the way it looks from the drivers point of view too...
This one may be more unique which is nice...

Why they hell doesn't Harley make one for Dyna's???? I know you can buy the different housing and make it fit, but if you go on their website they don't have a direct replacment for the Street Bob.

I prefer the Deuce headlight with the Wide Glide front end, but take a look at this thread: HeadLight Mods (time for a thread) https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-a-thread.html

Not doing it for me either. I have the same bike and just got a 5 3/4 teardrop springer style headlight. I like it because it doesn't overpower the front end. I will post pics when I get it on along with the other winter mods. Right now its -5f here in western NY.

I think it has potential. When I got mine i wasnt happy with it at first until I messed around with different mounting blocks...I tried atleast 3 different blocks...im happy with it now

I don't like it.

I prefer a 5 3/4 bullet on most Dynas personally..

As already stated, I think your rake makes it look a little off. You'd be better off with a bullet style 5 3/4 incher. A different mounting block might help too, but there's not a lot of roomk to play with back there. I have the same headlight, and I plan on getting a custom mounting block fabbed for mine. I'm only going to have space to move it back like 3/8 or 7/16 of an inch, and I'll have to go up a half inch just do be able to do that.
