Headlight question
Im stuck between which headlight i want to go with. Check out my Sig pic an tell me what you think.
A cyclops http://images.streetchopperweb.com/f...light_beam.jpg
OR
A bullet w/visor

I think the bullet will look good but be to long its 9in. But the cyclops will make it look different. So what do you guys think???
Thanks,
Josh

Look in my gallery and you will see I have the exact 5.75" x 9" light shown in your link.
Looks fine but ya need to change the mount out for a taller offset one. I run a headwinds 1.25" x 1.25 offset mount and 2" up and 3/4" out would also look good.
My light was from www.easternperformance.com (less than $100 and free shipping).
Here's a close up of mine:

Why spend a lot of money on a tacky looking headlight that has funny
angles and curves that don't match any of the core shape of the bike?
Oh yea ... to make it "custom"
Those lights look like crap, you'd be better off putting an old hand
polished AMF era eyebrow on there with a black bucket. Don't waste
you're hard earned money putting catalog trinkets of gawdyness on your
bike when the best options are a flea market or swap meat away.
If ya gotta swap it out... and you dn't want to leave the comfies of
your internet connection then ... Go to ebay and do a search using
words such as "headlight", "fog light", "vintage", "antique", "rat rod",
"unity", "all state", etc... you will find lights with much more character
for much less money.

Well it appears that Gazza has shared his wisdom for WTF its worth after venturing from QCB for a change. He's right about the character and and being unique. When I have another daily rider for 2-up, travel etc. and change this one mine will change but till then I'm fine with my gawdy $89 light that replaced the HD one that fell apart.
Just given ya some chit Gazza.

That's cool... I'm just flinging mine too 
I'm just hoping to get people to think outside the box a little
once and a while too... no matter if it works or not.
