Default dual headlights on a nightster?

ok, ive scoured the forums and a few other sites and cant find any information on this. has anyone here put dual headlights on a nightster/sportster? ive been tempted to put some small (4.5" i guess) black headlights on the nightster and all ive seen is stuff for the dynas or wides.

personal projects, website links, any information would be helpful. thanks!

edit: im looking for actual product links (the headlights themselves) and info on how to mount them. so pretty much any info anyone has, i'll take.

Sorry I have no information other than these pics I saved...and the fact that I've thought about doing the same thing at one point.

It actually looks pretty good. Let me know what you find out about it.

thats pretty much exactly what im looking for, sort of a streetfighter look. very nice. (i also dig the fatty front tire. badass.)

yeah, ill keep searching. a while back i was on another forum, svrider.com, and a number of people on there had headlights that looked exactly like these. so i might have to look at the ricer aftermarket, might have better luck.

thanks for the pics, it proves it can be done!

i'll post whatever i find.

Now that is a murder out bike.
Very sharp.

My only criticism is the front fender, something about its squareness of the front of it.

Still a very cool looking bike!

I think its just the angle the pic was taken from. The fender looks normal to me.

Do an Ebay search for dual headlights for motorcycles and you'll get some ideas from there. They have some good examples of that steetfighter look that you may want.
Main thing is finding a set that will fit or look correct with the stock Nighster front end.

That fat tire scoot is a real inspiration! Scew the front fender! Lose it and further expose the fat fat front tire!

I think the reason the dual headlight looks really good on that nightster is the wide front end.
