Default Aftermarket headlight

I am thinking about grabing one of these to place on the nightster.

Tell me what you think about looks and any issues i might run into with wiring and mounting.

Doesn't seem like a good match for a Nightster's old school look, it is better suited to a modern chopper like they show on the web page.

Agreed. Too futuristic looking for a Nightster, IMO.

Cool headlight. But it is really a personal choice. Like I said in a different thread, first thing you need to do is figure out the total picture of the bike as you want it. Then add parts that move you that direction. Not enough people do this and just throw parts at the bike on a whim. They end up without the cohesivness of a truly thought out custom.
