48 headlight options: 7' or 6.5'
was looking for some 7' headlights on ebay for my 48, and found some 6.5' s as well
i think the 7' looks great but sometimes big depending on the angle (at least for me). do you think a 6.5 will look just as nice if not better?
anyone have a picture of one installed?
thanks

not a 48, but this is a 6.5, also about 9 inches long, very obnoxious

Personally, a 6.5 or 7" headlight is just too big, especially for a 48 that has such a skinny tank. I put a 3.5" on my 883C, and I think it looks killer.

3 inches is way to tiny for a bike that is so fat up front.

I personally love the stock head light. Can't stand those giant ones dudes around here seem to love.

I ran a licks smaller light for about a week. Tossed it and put the oem light back on. The stock headlight is just too perfect, IMO.

I run a 7" on my 48 and it throws a lot more light and looks great.
