Default more thoughts on my aux light project

ok, I pointed out this the other night:

http://www.headwinds.com/mm5/merchan..._Code=01020203

but now I'm thinking 2" spots are kinda small. I could got to a 4 1/2' headlight with them, but like I said, on the wglide fork, I'm thinking it wouldn't look quite right.
This would be the headlight I'd use with the headwinds setup:

But then again, Kury now has thier 3" driving lamps in a forward mount which would look pretty good as well:
http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go...D/86/IMID/1810


and then Kury makes these as well, but they would stick out from the fork a little ways:


so....in your opinion, which would look best with the looks of my bike?

I like the first set the best...
the others seem like they will be to large for a softy.
the bigger ones look more suited for a dresser

Just My .02 though

well, stand aux lights (like on the fboy, heritage, etc) are 4", so both of these are smaller.
The 2" are just a tad larger than a turnsignal.

Out of these choices I like the 3 inch Kuryakyn lamps. Not too big or too small and should be a nice clean install.

3" definitely. They go with the flow of your ride.
