Hello,

I would like to swap out my stock headlight in my 2002 FLHTCI with one of the new, crystal clear, headlights such as the one in the attached photo. Will this just be a qucik change out, or will there be complications.

As stated in the HD site, Fits '00-later FL SoftailŽ and Touring models equipped with 7" headlamp. Some '00-'04 Touring models may require Retaining Ring P/N 67726-71A for installation. See your Dealer for details.

Thank you for your help!

Mike

 

I haven't installed that headlight but just installed the new Dual Halogen headlight that they came out with. Dirt simple install except for the part where they say to reuse the 3 screws from the old retainer ring in the new one but forget to tell you that the new holes aren't threaded and the screws are self tapping. I thought the screws didn't fit and wasted a bunch of time looking for new screws.

 

A simple swap. Just a few screws that hold the inner part in. If you want it even brighter take out the dark peice that coverws the ehadlight. I can't remember what it is called right now. I did this on the sporty. Just twist the dark piece until it breaks. Now it is super bright.

Any idea why that headlight won't fit touring bikes older than 2000? Mines a 1998 and it says this one won't fit, however all the other HD Halogen headlights fit 1994 and newer?

 

What is the new retaining ring all about? I can't find that part anywhere, and why would I "might" need it?

 

Okay, I got the new headlight installed, but the ring that I have that goes over the original ring has about a half inch gap now. The new headlight is flush as where the original light has a lip on it. What do I do now? The previous owner installed chrome rings around the three lights.
