Default FXDP Headlight bucket and ring

I just bought a fairing on ebay and now I need to get a 7" headlight bucket and trim.
I'm going to put in on a streetbob.
Is this going to be a pain in the a** or can I use any 7" headlight and bucket?Are they interchangeable?, anyone done this already and can advise me.

Thanks

you can use the standard 5 3/4" headlight

you just need to find the rubber trim used on an xlcr to make the hole in the fairing smaller so that the smaller headlight will work in a larger hole - this is what the factory did
