Default chopper type haedlight

I need peoples opinions.
Im looking at repacing my headlight on my 03 Softail Standard
with one of those chopper type headlights (teardrop look)
My question is should I go with the 4.5 wide by 7.5 long or
5.75 wide by 9in. long.
Which do you think looks better.
any suggestions would be appreicated.
Thanks.
Dan

Think the bigger one might look better, I just wouldn't want one that's too much bigger than the stocker. Longer yes, but not too much bigger.

Unless you want to really go all out. Then you want something that looks like this.



AGRV8D, how's this for a pic?

Cute isn't it, you can find itat http://www.lickscycles.com/, for something a "bit" more "conventional" in shape check out http://www.headwinds.com/or http://store.adjureinc.com/index.html.

Have fun looking.

I like the 5 3/4", but it's your bike, what do you think looks good? Lot's of choices. Just take a look around in some of the albums and see what strikes you.

Good Luck

Adjure headlight. 5 3/4 inch and stock bulb works fine. Less than 200 bucks at a lot of places on net.

Ya, I guess it mightbe a little "much" for a stockCustom Deluxe.
Now if you had italready had aton of skulls painted all over it, then it might bea different story.
