A 7" headlight looks really good on the Sporty. You have plenty of choices. Even stock HD headlights from some of the Softails. You have the 883C? I'm guessing the headlight bucket mounts from the bottom of the tree? If so, it should make getting a bigger headlight fairly simple.

yes it mounts on the bottom....thats a good idea about the softails...i will have to check to see if anyone at the dealer has any info....i sent joker machine an email about their 5 point light....its cool looking and i think it may bolt right on but its not bigger

Try looking on eBay also. It would probably be off one of the FX Softails.

I also have the '07 883L. I don't know the exact procedure but I've read you either can drill a hole in the tree to accommodate the headlight bucket or get a tree from an 883C/1200C.

There are these on ebay. They are the ones I want when I can afford the Truck-Lite LED head light. Should bolt right on the lower tree too.
