    That's the light I used on the shovel pictured earlier in the thread-they do look good on the wideglide.

    If you drill and tap the front face of the bottom triple tree you can bolt a headlamp mount bracket there to mount it.

      It's an old spot light.. What's it's off of I can't tell you.... I found it at a swap meet MANY years ago...

        I agree, and if one is good, two might be even better.

              Back in the 30's The British Motorcycle firm ''PANTHER'' used a Twin headlight set up on a Girder fork
              I have been meaning to reproduce it on a build but not done yet,...
              I think it's cool and have not seen it done,..in fact this is the only picture I have been able to find of it,
              the left ( or in the States the Right) headlight Swivels from straight ahead to the dip position by pushing or pulling on a lever
              like a choke or advance/retard lever as fitted to most Brit bikes prior to 1970,
              looks easy enough to do, and if combined with a nitrogen gas strut to aid return to either Dip or straight ahead it would look pretty trick...……...

                I run Alloy Art Pan lights on most of my bikes but my Duck is getting a PIAA. I have two panthers in the shop and neither are runnning the dual headlight setup

                  Love those guys!

                  I really want the small skinny fog lights with a yellow lens to tuck in tight with my springer.

                          Points, wire ends electrical stuff as far as I can remember... I've had that bag since the 70s it's been on many of my bikes through the years....

                              What I used were Unity H1 spotlights. I think the H series are 4" and the S are 5 3/4" (but I could be wrong) and if you look you can find a 4" hi/low sealed beam or halogen. One of mine had a hole in the back, probably from a knob, and the other was damaged at the point, so I put in a blue dot and an amber dot, and wired them on the inside so that the amber dot would tell me when the yellow beam was on, and the blue dot was my high beam. I also used some fog light mounting brackets and a strap of steel to make a bracket for the setup. The bike is not done yet, but getting there.

                                Good job! That mounting strap is neat!
