I can't easily find how to make this a poll.

Which looks better for you on a '07 1200 Nightster.
Chrome reflector or black?

Also:
A Nightster special design is the pale aluminum finish (Oil & fuel tank caps, HL surround trim ring as examples).
The OEM headlight ring is that "special" finish.
1) Does the OEM H/L ring fit with a Daymaker upgrade?

PS Yes, I know aftermarket H//L are a tenth the cost of OEM Harley, but that's another discussion.

 

I have a genuine H-D Daymaker installed on my 2011 XL883N, I thought the black item suits the "Dark Custom" look better than a chrome item.

The stock headlight bezel does fit with the Daymaker, there are black versions available from aftermarket suppliers.

I installed a black headlight grill, it comes with an black machined aluminum screw on bezel.

 

It's totally about what YOU like and want. You can get a "deep" headlight mount and reuse your OEM bucket ring. This is your bike, do whatever you want to it. Let your freak flag fly


but you can also pay the big bucks for the HD version #67700455. I've done both and lots between. I was oddly happiest with the cheapo 5-34 bucket from amazon.

no shame in trying and failing.

 

I chose to use the 'original' HD Daymaker (they're different now) and an
aftermarket Bates-style bucket. It works for me & my tastes....




good luck,

Below is an H-D pic of your Nightster for the benefit of others. I think either finish would look good, IMO. But then I'm a chrome guy, so what do I know!?

 

I am partial to the chrome reflector.

Yet, if I understand from the replies, the OEM matte silver trim ring can not be used, correct?

 

The stock satin silver bezel can be used with the "H-D Daymaker" headlight unit, I changed mine because I was blackening out my Iron 883 and I also used the black Daymaker.
