Default Fatboy Headlight Look...

Ok so I am thinking of getting rid of the big fatboy nancell (spelling??) But I am not sure what it will look like with out it, so I am asking for any pics of fatboys with out the big solid nancell thingy. I am thinking of maybe doing a dual headlight setup or going vintage with it, but am looking for some ideas.

Thank you to all that post some pics in advance.

So what are you going to do with the big solid nancell thingy? I have been thinking about putting a big solid nancell on mine.

Well if I make the change and like it I will either be selling it on Ebay or here or trading it or something.

That looks awesome IMO but I'm assuming that the whole front end
would have to be torn apart to get the nacelle off? and I'm just not that
comfortable with the ideal of doing that right now. Looks great though!

I personally like more the 3 light look than nacelle. Mine had nacelle before and took it off for some time.

If you want to swap, I'll send you my headlight for the nacelle. Let me know. My bike is a 2002.
