Default Fat Bob with single 7" headlight?

Anyone have a fat bob with a single 7" headlight? If so could you post a photo? I would like to see what it looks like.

Also, where can I get a 7" bucket to put a headlight in now? Will I need a new mounting post? I have not messed with the lights before so this will be new for me. Thanks.

So I am thinking the 7" is to big. I think I want to go with 5 3/4 but I cant find everything I would need. I need the bucket and the light.. Is that it? What about a headlight housing kit? Like this...

You can pick any 5-3/4 bucket you want. Bottom mount. You need a block and headlamp to fit inside that bucket. There's lots of aftermarket headlights. Some have different mounting tab locations so blocks will move the headlight where you want it. I'm not sure how your double is mounted if you have one centered mounting hole in the tree or if it's something else. I think once you know that just pick a light
