Default 7 in headlight

Has anyone changed out the stock headlight for a 7 inch or larger on the sportster? If so what one did you go with?

Soft tail. 7in. It mostly works if you have a lower tree mount.

And I installed a 7in trucklight led

If you have a lower tree mount you can use any of the bottom mount 7" I believe. Most people get one from a fat boy or other.

If you're a stock visor mount you can just get a side mounted 7" or you can drill the lower tree and go with a bottom mount one.

I did side mount, and I plan to eventually drill the tree and change to a bottom mount one so that I'm not attached to the forks, then use the side mounted headlight for another bike. The fork mounted headlight is annoying when doing fork work.
