Thanks for trusting my judgement. I went out a limb trying the 7" and have no regrets.
I think you will be very happy with it. The Mount looks much better. The frenched trim ring will be a cosmetic decision. Decide if you like the bucket or not before getting that. Snappy lights on eBay has Adjure blems on the cheap. Get one powder coated black if that's your taste or leave chrome. Just a thought if you decide you are not happy with the bucket you have.

 

Does look a lot better with it tucked back a bit. Doesn't seem out of place on your forks either. The bulb "sticking out" thing is probably not a big deal. Cosmetic.

 

Finally was able to test the new setup at night. I was expecting an improvement, but already had an upgraded bulb in the old bucket. I can honestly say that this blew my expectations away. Not only is it way brighter, but the beam is much wider. The whole road and shoulders are lit up now. Very happy with the results, especially at less than half of what Harley wants for their upgraded bulb.

 

Looks good on there!


The puny stock headlight was the first thing to go on my bike, 7 Inch bucket and auxillary light bar from a fatboy work just fine for me

 

Do you have to solder anything for the phase 7, or does it attach to oem plug? I'd like to be able to return to stock....but I really want one of those 7 inch buckets too.

also, can anyone recommend one in chrome?

Thanks

 

No soldering, connects directly to the eom wiring. I didn't modify any of the stock parts, so I can put the stock one back on later if I want.

The bucket I used is an Adjure HB77010. It's basically a copy of a Fat boy bucket. I just removed the harness from it and used my original one from my bike.

 

Decided to fix the headlight sticking out of the bucket issue. Was kind of a pain getting the trim ring to fit right, but in the end I'm glad I did. Think it looks much better/complete.

 

Much better!

 

Man I knew this was a mistake subscribing to this thread.....now I gotta spend more money!! LOL
Looks damn good!

 

I had a 7" on my 08' FXD for a while. I thought the 5 3/4 didn't look right on the 49mm front end. After 4 months I ended up replacing it with the old 5 3/4 black housing and adding a black daymaker. I love the traditional look of the 5 3/4 housing and man that thing puts out some light. Weird how just a few months changed my mind. Yours looks great btw and I hope you don't change your mind like me. It wasn't cheap!!!
