Need More lighting on nighttrain
Does anyone have any idea on how to add more light to softtail nighttrain? I just got the 5 3/4" HD LED headlight. Its bright, but I feel like I need some more lighting on the road. Any Suggestion?

Like this, see my signature pic....
Fatboy headlight and the HD Aux light kit, I aimed the spots out a little to catch the sides of the road, looking for deer. I also wired them so they work with the headlight either on low or high.

I like that. I would like to do the same thing. How did you do that?

I went with the Fat Bob headlight on my Night Train. I had to make a mount to move it out a bit as the trees are narrower than a Dyna's but it puts out a ton of light, as both sides light up at the same time. Once you have the mount made it just pluggs into the stock location.

You can always get a pair of the small Hella or PIAA aux lights they sell for cars and mount them to the bottom of the frame.
There are two unused holes at the bottom front of the frame that several guys have used for that.
Not as big and strange looking (my opinion only) on a Nightrain as the HD Aux lights for a Fatboy or Deluxe would be and the higher powered ones should work at least as well for your needs.
The only drawback is that I think some of the better light makes must have used the same guy Harley does to setup their pricing.
Something like this for instance might work for you.

That's strange, I just added the LED to my NT and was amazed at the difference.
