Other solution might be a Thunderbike headlight if you like the design.
Regarding blinkers just ordered a few days ago MBW Wrap Around LED Turn Signals to install just below the upper triple tree. If you wish to clean up a bit the handlebars these might be a good solution.

Hey, good find Nos...thanks for posting the fotos. I agree - that 7" light looks too big. So, I'm off to find a chromed steel 5 3/4 bucket...


Those signals look interesting, but I'm going to try the Primo LED since I have it already.

I want to clean up the bars a little. Getting rid of the HD signals is the obvious, simple thing to try first, but I like the idea of having some kind of front signals. To get there, I bought a 5 3/4 LED lamp w/ built in signals from Primo.


I also dislike the black HD headlight bucket, so I bought a chromed aluminum 5 3/4 Adjure bucket off some Amazon seller. I've decided that I don't really care for the Adjure bucket.


A chrome version of the black factory HD bucket would be GTG.


So, before I scour the intarwebnets for a chrome 5 3/4 bucket, I'm wondering if anyone has switched to a 7" headlamp. If so, post some pics!
I put the seven inch primo on, looks good. I just got it back last night from PC a bunch of stuff and other stuff. So no pics yet. I'll post some in the next few days

You interested in a chromed aluminum bullet bucket that you can have powder coated or painted black? The Primo LED I have fits into it, so the Daymaker should fit too. I never mounted the parts on my bike - just put the Primo LED into the bucket.


This is it:

I'll sell it for 150 bucks. I'll toss in the mounting block kits I ordered separately. PM me - let me know.

Yes I'm planning to make more mods, but that's next project, for now, more cosmetic upgrades.

Dyno reading range so much from Dyno tk Dyno. Without the pre/post it's really hard to gauge increases.

Even if you don't have it the tuner may.

Looking forward to seeing what you have. 211 is an interesting choice, cool to see someone doing something different. How did you end up going with the 211. Even Andrews told me it would be a good fit for the 103

Are you planning future modes. Maintained stock conpression? Do you change out lifters?
