Man, I keep seeing your 48 and just can't get over how much I like it! Love the direction you went with the brass accents and old school touches.

Sorry OP, I have an aftermarket headlight but it's in a Nightster, probably won't help.

Although I didn't change the headlight per se, I added a Dyna trim ring and powder coated it black

I think a 7" headlight works well with the 48 beefy front end.

What kind of trim ring do you have on that light? I really like the look!

I started mounting this one but never got around to finishing it. 4 1/2" Unity replica from TT&Co. I'll probably powdercoat it.
