Default Which style headlight?
Looking to replace my headlight with something not quite so long.

Style 1...no lip



Style 2...raised lip

they are almost the same IMO, but i like the first one better. you also got to understand I'm not a huge fan of totally blacked out dynas, and on that to each his own. but id like to see a different lip on it may b a polished aluminum. i remember seeing a headlight similar to this and it had a really cool industrial looking lip/ring on it.

There's one on eBay that's in the style of number 1 but has the outer ring in brass.

Gotta admit it was really nice looking, just no brass on my bike to make it work.
