Patience pays off -- after watching for quite a while I finally nailed a seven inch headlight for under $40 shipped. It has a Bosch lens and an H4 bulb. Need to redo the mount to raise it up an inch and back about a inch and a half.

I think I've seen that before. It's a side mount -- I wanted a bottom mount. Next mod will be to do something about those marker/turn signals.

Good lookin light you got there.
Been looking myself. So Paladin, what was it made for?
Brewbrother I've been looking for the 8" too. But I've decided that I want to stick with the bottom mount style.

Most likely a Harley Davidson. It is designed to mount to a single vertical 3/8" hole.
The bucket has parallel tabs on the bottom to straddle: a block with with crossway threaded holes and bottom 3/8"-16 threaded vertical hole. Present adapter is a flat piece of steel with two 1/4" holes to mount to the tripletree and a 3/8" hole for the light.

Aloha brewbrother, is your headlight mountable with those clamps on the side of the fork.
I Don't remember what they are called, they look like this:
If so, how much would you like for the headlight ???

Also the back of the lamp looks like it's just black paint right? So I can paint it to match my bike color.
Hope you still have it.

I do like the bigger look, but also my light gets so hot, I can't even touch it after I've ridden a while. The plastic rim above the glass is all blistered and cracked, So I think it has a really strong light bulb in it already.

Here is my '02 with a 9" headlight I bought off of e-bay that was made for a harley.
http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/1035010/
To mount it I drilled a hole thru the center tree and backed the mounting bolt up with a piece of flat stock on the bottom. I was getting some hairline cracks in the stock plastic bucket and wanted something different. It wasn't to hard to do except for all the wires Suzuki runs thru the headlight.
