I wanted a a bigger headlight to fill in the fork as I think the stock one is to small. This is one I got through the Harley Dealer. It is 6 1/2" and has the ball milled grooves on the side. The 7" FL light was just too big....[IMG][/IMG].

Guess I'm not the only one who thinks the stock light is puny! Looks good.

Hey, that looks much better than stock. I get my Street Bob in mid June and I am considering removing the HD logos on the tank as I think they look a bit cheap. Where they easy to remove? Do you think it will effect the re-sale value? Do we care?

Richard.

looks great, I am not to fond of the small factory headlight either. I like the custom look that added to your bike. I was looking at a 5 3/4 but it looks deeper the the stock one which is like 4 1/2 deep it looked more like the bullet style. Also thinkin about drilling my headlight and mounting the turnsignal to it so they would be inside the tree also? I have seen a few on this site that are more bullet style just not sure what size they are. Anyways overthehill your bike is lookin better all the time. Is there a certain hill that you have been over, maybe you could go back down the hill the way you came and then be called not overthehill? mojo

. I don't know. I had the Harley parts guy look in his after market catalog. I believe it is a Drag Specialties. It was around 85 dollars.

Looks good. Fills in that area of the forks nicely. I am thinking of upgrading my light as well.

Since the 6 1/2" upgrade seems to be a popular thing to do, just how small is the stock HL on the Bob?
