Thanks OS. As far as the length, I'm not sure, but I can say it's pretty long. I didn't realize that they had more than one length in the 5.75". I love having the mids AND highway pegs. I've been living with a pinched nerve in my back for the past 3 years so it gives me the ability to change my seating position if needed.

Anyway, back to the light. I think HD offers 2 bullet lights. Both just alike except one is 4.5" and the other is 5 3/4" which is what Jake has. As I said earlier, I think both look good - you just have to choose your favorite. Both are about 7" long. However both are in the $300 range and, according to the P&A catalog, you have to buy the proper mount on top of that for about another $40 (2 to choose from). There has to be some value in the HD lights to justify the extra money but I'm not convinced there is an extra $200 in there. There are similar style and size lights on ebay all day long in the $100 +/- range.

Jake, doesn't that headlight go for like 300 beans?

Try living with 6 herniated discs (3 upper and 3 lower)... I finally have an appointment in a week for one of those epidural steroid shots for pain. I hope it works.

I have to agree that I don't see the extra $ that HD gets, but then again, they are usually priced higher than just about everything I've seen aftermarket.
