Default Which Headlight?

I'm more in favor of the second one, but I figured I'd ask you fine fellas your opinion to see what everyone else thinks. The first one keeps catching my eye because it seems to mesh well with the idea of the bike but I just figure over the long haul I'd be happier with the second, but what do ya'll think?

I have also included and overall pic of the bike for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

Yeah I was thinking about doing something contrast with it but these are the only 2 I have on hand at the moment and the bike as been on the stand for a year so just trying to get everything in riding order so I can get some miles on it before it gets too cold. I'm definitely going to make some more cosmetic changes during the winter

I agree that the first one does catch the eye but depending upon the bars your going with it would get lost and look "puney". but I do have to say that is going to be one increadable bike when your done, looks absolutly sick and something to be proud of!!!!!

Thanks man. It's definitely been a stressful time getting this thing finished. It was supposed to be done in April as my coming home present to myself from Afghanistan but......that didn't work out. Hope to have it finished this week so I can get some miles on it before putting it up for the winter and making even more changes. I think I'll end up having more money in my bike than my house eventually haha

Personally with that particular springer, I like #1. The very non-traditional light goes great with the very non-traditional springer

That's a great looking ride!
