Headlight opinions
i agree i am not feeling it. looks to stubby for the front end... i would make a new mount block and pack it as deep in the trees as you can, then french ring... would look good

Yeah, I do kinda like it, but as mentioned I think if it was stuffed back in deeper it would look better. At the same time, it's F'ing huge. I will have to stare at it some more and see if it grows on me.

point of view
Your camera's point of view and focal length makes the headlight look overly large, for the size of your bike, which I don't believe it is. You know, the way they photograph all those ***** on the **** channel. 
You're right, it might look even better tucked in a bit more, but this is an easy bolt-on. I'd have it on my bike if this size h/l provides more/better light than stock. If you are ever planning to run a q/r windshield this larger h/l might eliminate the back-reflections from the small stock h/l. (I taped on a piece of wide black nylon webbing, to close the gap between the top of the h/l & the bottom of the w/s opening, in effect making a temporary hood.)
How about posting a photo taken from down around battery level, and centered on the bike, not the h/l, showing a true side view? Similar to my sig pic.

With the rake of your forks the headlight looks way out of place to me. To blunt and sticks way to far out in front.
I agree a Bullet would fit your bike better.
Now a Fatboy headlight on a SB looks like should have been that way from the start.
