Default Bullet Headlight on a Fat Bob?

Does anybody have a Fat Bob with a bullet headlight or have seen a Fat Bob with a bullet headlight? (pics would be good)

My bike is in the shop right now getting fixed up from a wreck that I had and my mechanic thinks my Fat Bob would look bad *** with a bullet headlight? I just can't visualize it and I've never seen one so I'm wondering about yall's opinions.

My thought is that it would be nice to change things up but I'd like to see it setup before I commit to the change.

IMO, Don't do it! I just love those dual headlights, they just belong to the Fat Bob, IMO Bullet headlights look a kind of goofy.

i think a 5 & 3/4 bullet would look awesome!

i think the dual headlights are terrible & meant for triumphs. and it seems more & more fatbob guys are changing them.

@CrazyK: too bad NONE of those pictures are of a "bullet" headlight...they are just single 'fat boy' style 7" headlights...
Check out Headwinds headlights for a cool bullet...

I saw this thread a few days ago and was going to post but decided I would wait since my adjure 7" flame bullet headlight was in the mail. I got it in today and had the weatherproof plugs already to go and the chrome billet mount came in yesterday so this setup is brand new for my bike. The way its wired the twin lights can be mounted back on later if I change my mind. The 7" LED is from a set I got for my Jeep for $180 then I sold my Jeep so still had two of them sitting in the garage just needed to rewire for H4 plugs. So far I think its cool but I know some won't agree. Anyways you asked if anybody is running a 7" bullet on a Fat Bob so here ya go. Needs to be cleaned up tomorrow after install and need a new adjuster bolt between the bullet and the billet mount but after a testride doing 75 down the freeway at night it did right nicely
