Default Installed a new headlight

I originally replaced the stock headlight with a Cobra, but I thought it was a little too modern for the look I was going after.

Replaced with a 7" and it really changed the look.

With Cobra:


With the new 7":


Easy swap.

What do you think of the new light?

7" much better. Where did you get it from and how much was it?

It looks good and all but, man, I haven't seen a headlight yet that can beat the HD LED headlight. I wonder if you could put the 7" version in the new bucket?

Matches the style of the bike much better. Those bullet style lights never look right on Dyna's....just my .02

Bought the headlight (New) on Ebay, $59.99 + $8.00 shipping. The seller was bk-rider. Seems to be pretty good quality. Have to wait and see how the chrome holds up.
