LED headlamp for 1975 Superglide
Would anyone here have any experience having bought a 5 3/4 LED headlight for older bikes, most i see are plug and play applications.
Can you suggest a brand or best buy etc.
thanks

The newer headlights on the backside are very big, big lump with cooling fins etc. People are having issues getting them in the bucket as all the bike's wiring is also in there. I would remove the stock headlight first get a good feel for how much room you do or do not have. Then find out how big the *** end of the light in question is and be sure you have the room before purchase. There are a couple of threads around with guys doing the same thing on 80's and 90's bikes, doable but it is a thing not a simple plug and play. Good luck, keep us posted for information purposes.

The vast majority of them will fit. I have run 3 diff ones in my stock bucket, 81 fxs.
You may have to get creative, cooling fins can easily be shaved down.
I guarantee this one from moons will. 1" thick
