nacelle or factory headlight?
I'm having a hard time deciding weather to keep my nacelle or go back to the factory headlight and tins. Tell me what you think

Stay with the Nacelle, BUT if you really want to go back (and need the parts) maybe we can work a swap.
The Nacelle is the next thing on my list - love the look of the nacelle without the driving lights.
Nice looking bike by the way

RE: nacelle or factory headlight?
Don't get me wrong the Nacelle headlights look really good.
But they really make the front end hugely fat, which is what these FL models are.
But here's your scenario, it seems you are thinning out your bike.
Tall apes bars
Tall thinner Air Cleaner
Small solo seat
Smaller turn signals
and those wicked looking thinner sidewall wheels
But that Nacelle headlight setup is fat.
If you go back to the standard headlamp,
I would still put the headlamp trim visor on (not a visor but a trim visor),
I think it helps the headlight a lot, giving it a “little longer look” rather than just a big round lamp.

Leave it just like it sits, your bike is sweet. BTW, i love the 21" front wheel.

RE: nacelle or factory headlight?
I say stick with the nacelle.
On a side note, does anyone know if the nacelle is compatible with the headlight visor ring that Texas Fat Boy mentioned? I've got a nacelle comming myself and really want to put both the nacelle and the trim ring on, but haven't researched if the two can fit together or not.

I have the visors on all the lights and don't care for the look now, probably going to swap soon.
