Fatbob with a Switchback headlight?

Does anybody think it's possible to put a switchback headlight on a Fatbob? I love the Fatbob but I think it's missing something on the front end even with the dual headlights.

If anyone has done that could you please post a pic or let me know if anybody even think that's possible?
Thanks

what I would really like to do is get a nacelle for the dual headlight that's already on it?

That would be doable if you can do acrylic sheet molding in an oven. Mock up some short pieces of pole to simulate the forks and trees, then mount the headlamp bucket empty to it. Put it in an oven with a flat sheet of acrylic over it and let the heat mold it then trim to fit and paint to suit if its not the color you want. I did this a couple of times in shop class in middle school and high school but never got to the level of trying it on something like that but concept is the same.

Thats basically how Memphis shades makes their batwings.
