This is what I'd like to do. Can you link me to the mount that you used?

Any problems with adjustment?

It's been so long ago... I don't have any links. But I used the stock block on my Dyna, instead of the block that came with the bucket. No problems with adjustment at all. I also removed the wiring harness from the stock headlight bucket (depop the harness connector, and push it through) Installed that in the new bucket...

I bought the bucket/lens off ebay.

Thanks man, I wasn't sure if I could hook it to the existing mounting block or if I'd need an adapter.

Looks like I have some ebaying to do!

I did the same thing as Archer; put the stock harness in the new bucket and used the stock mounting block. I've been using it that way since 08.

Archer, not to hijack the thread too much, but when were you at the 92nd? I was a boom operator up there from 87-91 and then cross trained as a helo FE.
