Busted a$$ headlight bucket
10/16/13 at 07:44:46
So I went for a ride to the insurance man's office to turn in my daughter's information regarding her first wreck, and when I pulled back into my garage I notice something wrong with my bike.
Didn't notice a big bump or pothole, just saw it after I got off the bike :'(
So now I'm obviously in the market to replace my headlight. Looking for suggestions/recommendations that will get me into a metal bucket.
Should've been posted in RSD - mods are welcome to move

Are you sure it's broken? It just looks like it's napping!

Love the headlights there
(oh, wait, you were referring to a headlamp for a bike, weren't you?)

I like that headlight too, but wanted a chrome version. Only find that size in black.
From ToesNose other post, I think he got one of those in chrome, so I keep looking - fun hunting around on their website too

Clear,
Thanks for the installed pics. The black looks good on your bike, as mentioned before, I still can't decide since I can't find that one in chrome. I really like the size of the light directly head on, but wonder would it be possible to install the bucket back slightly in between the forks more? Not sure if I like how it's stretching out there so far.
I might see about mounting it from the top tree like ToesNose did.
I'm just too indecisive

Not bad, still prefer a 7" sidemount...
Started with the flat black, scuffed, primed and painted to match the tins. Almost infinitely adjustable.

I like the profile of the chrome headlight a lot more. However, the black flows nicely too. Pretty nice!
