There is also a light light that some have bought that is cheaper then HD's. It is called a cobra and most get it for around $95. Ebay is a good place to look.

That's the one I have. Bought from easternperformance.com. \\; Recently had an issue with the reflective material behind the bulb coming apart but I called EP and they are making it right.

It came with a mount but I ended up keeping the one that came with my 4.5" light I had before.

RE: hate the fxdl headlight, need options?
I had the stock eyebrow headlight and transformed it to a billet lamp assembly. \\; \\; \\; \\;Using the existing modified light assembly I got the attached results. \\; \\;
 \\;
What I did was remove the indicator light assembly, then the eyebrow/light assembly. \\;\\\\\\;I then used a small band saw to cut off the brow along the molding lines on the back of it. \\;\\\\\\;I then took a half round file to make the curves for the risers. \\;\\\\\\;Did a little finish filing, polishing, and reinstalled the bracket backwards with the same hardware. \\;\\\\\\;I then reinstalled the indicator light assm. (in reverse of course) \\;
I then installed the new billet light assembly I ordered from the HD catalog. \\;\\\\\\;This required drilling a 3/8" hole in the lower triple tree. \\;I used a front motor mount bolt thru to the lamp mounting bracket. \\;\\\\\\;I spliced the wires and hid the connections under the gauge cluster. \\; \\;
 \\;
Thats it, judge the results for yourself. \\;
 \\;
Peace,

I'll take some new shots but here are some aditional shots. \\; Its an easy mod, I did it over a weekend. \\; The eyebrow is aluminum so cutting, filing and polishing is easy.
