I've been wanting to put a bigger headlight on my 2011 Street Bob. Will a Fatboy light mount/plug in without problems?

I don't know why....just like the idea of a big light in the front.

I went to a 7 inch for a while , it did give me a little wider pattern but, but lost some intensity ( I guess because the light was more spread out )that plus I never could get used to the look so I went back to a 5 3/4 .

This forum has been a great resource for ideas and help.

Nice job! IMHO, it looks better.

I,ve been digging the idea of a Superglide for a while now. Just got the motivation I needed from my crash, the day after Thanksgiving. I think the idea of my future bike is coming together and this a definite on the mods list.. Thanks!
