Tagging for future.

What will you be doing with your old headlight?

I call dibs. Ha ha ha....well, when you finish the conversion. I'll check back with you. I saw someone on this forum that put a Fat Bob headlight on their Street Bob and it looked great.

Maybe I'll end up following this mod if it's not too crazy....that movie on the HD site really makes that light look amazing and powerful. I looked and couldn't find a price on Zanotti's...so who knows what the cheapest price you can get it for.

Go to your local stealer ship and pickup the plug and pins for the stock headlight. Setup the wiring to your new light. You may need a new mounting block if the headlight doesn't come with one.

I did not have to do anything to the wiring when I changed my light. Unplugged stock SB single light, plugged in stock FB dual light.

As far as electrical, he is right, simple unplug and plug in the new one.

Just my opinion but always thought a 7" headlight would look great on the Fat Bob.
