That headlight is a killer deal. I'm buying one!

 

Make sure you get the 5-3/4" one if you've got a stock Dyna headlight.

Also, you'll have to modify the set ring inside the headlight housing because the stock Harley headlight (the H4 clear lens/fluted reflector type) uses one set tab and these lights use the normal three. You have to take the ring out and cut notches at the correct spots to match up with the tabs on the back on the new headlight.

 

Cool, good info. I actually have a Nightrain and I'm gonna get a 7" housing to put one of their 7" lense/bulb combos in, so the 5 3/4" will be on the shelf.

Someone mentioned using wire nuts to hook up the light. They are prone to falling off from vibration and for a few bucks you can buy a pack of crimp splices or crimp plug terminals and crimp them with a vice grip. For a few bucks more you can buy the crimping pliers...either way you will be way ahead of those wire nuts.

 

If I hadn't wanted mine to be easily interchangeable I would have soldered the wires back together with heat-shrink tubing over it. That would be the best permanent installation I would think.

 

Yup, that is the best way to go.

 

That's one of the cooler mods I've seen on a Fat Bob. Awesome.

 

very nice
i was thinking of that same thing
now i know what it would be like .nice very nice

 

I just remembered that the forks are wider on the Fat Bob. Do you think I'll have any clearance problems putting a 7" headlight on my Super Glide?

 

I am trying not to be a wise *** but, did you measure the space where it needs to go? The 7" headlight housing is a little bit wider than eight inches, I think.

 

No. But I don't think it's going to be a problem. Based on this photo of his bike, you can see how far forward the headlight sits from the fork tubes:
