Default Headlight conversion to Fat Bob

I have a project going on and was wondering if anyone knew if the Fat Bob headlights would fit between the forks on a 08 Street Bob. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Fat Bob head light I removed from my Fat Bob so if you provide me the measurement between the forks I will check it out.
Keep in mind the FXDF headlight mounts on the lower triple tree so it only needs to be close.

I traded my FB double off for a Super Glide Custom headlight a while back! The guy I traded it to was putting it on his SGC...don't know if it worked out or not! You can find mounts that will move the double forward a hair if needed to clear the upper fork tubes! Somebody here has done it for sure...good luck with it!

I'm almost positive that it's been done. I swear there was a low rider that had done it before (same trees and forks), but I can't find a picture. The FB headlight doesn't sit very far back in the forks, so I don't think it would be a problem.

Found this when I googled "lowrider with fat bob headlight". Looks like it fits to me, and looks pretty nice too.
