What kind of headlight are we going with???
So if anyone has looked at my thread And so it begins in the american bikes section I have been slowly acquiring parts for a shovelhead chopper. I recently came across a wide glide front end that I picked up. it had no headlight. I've been thinking that I would mount a rectangle headlight just to be different you know, but Idk what that would look like. Anyone have any pics of that? Also anyone have any specific brand of headlight to go with?

I've got a Bates on the Panhead right now, but am waiting on the delivery of a deeper halogen based unit. I am not sure if as HH says it will screw up the proportions, but I figure it is worth a shot.
I used the rectangle lights on one build early on and while it made me happy at the time, I look back and realize I could have done better.

Now thats nice I'll keep that in mind. After we get the frame back I"m on the hunt for wheels we should meet the Christmas deadline to have a roller sans motor. The odds and end I'm working on rn are finding the headlight, some small apes, risers and such, and a set of 21 and 16 inch spoke wheels.

I used a unity bucket just like dave shows in his post on my last panhead I built. changed it to house a 6v h4 bulb. plenty of light and fit the looks of the bike.

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.Last edited by Hoghead; 10-10-2018 at 11:27 AM.
