I mounted the bracket to the cowl. Placed the cowl in front of the headlight to mock up the appearance. It leaves the mounting bracket BELOW the riser bolt holes... Hope this helps...

Does it mount to the riser bolts under the tree?

I don't believe the riser bolts penetrate through the bottom of the tree...?

Ahh...You have a street bob with the integrated ones? That may be the deal...Did they say it would fit a Street bob specifically?

In the description of the eBay listing, yes rtated its compatible with my year and model. I've seen a few other street bobs with them as well on here. Can anybody that has one on their Bob chime in...? Thanks all!

+1 on this. Can't trust ebay sellers. The bike shown in the pics has a top mount light on narrowglide forks.

And here's the description from the link you provided: To fit 1973-UP Harley Sportster Dyna FX/XL with 39mm narrow Glide forks.

I think you bought the wrong one. The one you have is meant for sportster bikes with the top visor over the headlight. The metal bracket definitely does not bolt any where to your trees.

The one I have doesn't have that metal bracket. It just came with a plastic cup the fits over the back of the headlight then you put the visor in front. It sandwiches the headlight bucket and there are 5 screws.

Hope this helps...... eBay can be a ******.......

Here is the write up https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-09-dynas.html

You need the night rod fairing, which works on 06+ dyna bobs

Few pics:

I had to space mine out about 1/2" by using some plastic spacers I got at ace. I placed themin between the screws of th fairing and the back cup bracket. This gave me a snug fit.
