Man I thought I would like the look of a round headlight on the Fat Bob more than I do. It looks good but I guess the original headlight just grew on me. Good work!

Maybe I just need to see one in person to appreciate it more. Either way it doesn't look bad at all by any means. I have just grown to like the stock light.

Default 2018 Fat Bob Headlight Conversion

Is there a particular headlight bucket anyone would recommend for this application? I'm planning on doing this swap, and have a bracket and a 5 3/4 moonsmc fly eye light, just looking for a good bucket to fit it, preferably black. Thanks for any info.
