Yes but i did not go with the factory HD day maker... Although mine is the same dimension, it still will not fit correctly in the stock bucket. I have talked to a couple guys and I think I'm going to get a new headlight bucket without the damper... It is a ridiculous design that Harley came up with how it bolts up on the inside of the bucket
