I think the original Fat Bob headlight looks better. I had a similar problem. I bought the bike used with a Bullet style headlight, but I returned the original dual headlight and I think it looks better.

never a fan of the double-lights either. I think the Fatboy headlight goes perfect with that front end.

Looks good especially the tires and the lack of belt guard does open up the rear.

Personally I like the double head light. IMO it is an iconic part about the Fat Bob, but as always, what really matters is what you like, and overall it looks good.

I like it, there was something about the dual light that made it look too euro to me. I can't believe I waited so long to change mine out.
