Default Installed a Fatboy headlight
After reading many threads on 7inch headlights on superglides i went ahead and installed one myself, I love the look as well as the better light it will project for night riding. Next is a wideglide tank and streetbob dash, this way the handlebar mounted speedo will be removed and clean up the front end.

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

You could use a sportster custom riser set up that incorporates the speedo and dummy lights, before 2004 they were straight risers and after 2004 they are a pullback design.The pseedo is mounted lower towards the rider and not up front like the stock dyna set up/

i was thinking of integrating it directly into the bar though. something more like where the handlebar bends inside of the left hand controls.
