Default Dyna Top Mount Headlight replacement

Hello fellow Dyna owners.

Have been adding hardware here and there and making small changes to my 2000 Dyna FXDX and now am at the point where I'm kinda puzzled.

I want to change the original headlight for a LONGER one, one which pertrudes more outward than what I have. Same diameter but simply longer. Have been looking around and see that this is hard to get with a TOP MOUNT like I presently have.

I see that many people have drilled the triple tree but don't want to go that way if I don't have too.

Is there a place where they sell TOP MOUNT headlights or is there a KIT that you can buy to installer tree mount headlights on TOP MOUNT setups like mine.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks

Godjunior,
I have an 04 FXD with a top mount eyebrow, and Ive been doing research to switch to a bottom mount headlight, or find a bigger top mount as well. Here are 2 options that I am looking at.
1. 2004+-, Sportster customs(large tank) have a bottom mount headlight tree, you may be able to find one used for cheap.
2. Crime Scene Choppers sells a "J" shaped bracket for about $90.00, It mounts to the bolts where the eyebrow goes and swoops behind the tubes.
Hope this will give you some ideas.

Check joker machine. A little pricey but nice. I waited 3 years to drill mine...It was the easiest mod ever done. I used a headlight from an 04-07 883 custom sportster. Dont forget you need headlight mount too. 04-07 custom sportster as well. That route cost me $100.00
