Hi there, Has anyone mounted a 7" headlight on their 48?  Do you mind putting up some pics, front and side on.  I am thinkin' about giving it a go for somethin different. I have seen a couple of aftermarket chrome ones instead of a real mccoy fatboy light, would be good to get a black one though if anyone has seen them.....easy enough to get powder coated tho.

 Hey machine,

just checking out the pics o your bike...very cool mate thinking about changing my 48 style seat on my Iron....to the same spring saddle you have,

are you happy with the spring saddle and is it a comfortable ride?

i think it finishes of the bobber look.

i have a mate who has a seat for sales, but I just need to chase up the pan base and springs.

Are you happy with the saddle?

Hey Johno,
Thanks man, yeah I do like the spring seat but did take me a bit to get used to it. I was sliding around a bit at the start but i think that might have been my riding position. I now sit right into the seat and lean back in a more relaxed position, rides more comfortable, after all its not an agressive wrist cracker riding position on a 48. Some people don't like the spring seat on a spring suspension bike but each to their own, I reckon it looks alright.

I also have a LaPera Cherokee seat, haven't used it for a while, might change it up and give it a run.

 That sounds good mmachine,

i might take my mates bike for a lap to see how the seat feels.

i know it looks cool but a long day in the saddle can be hard to take if the seat is an issue.

i will do some more homework and go from there.

Thanks mate

Didn't want to start a new thread, so thought I would just bump this one up.

Anyone know if this would work on the Oz models? I'm not sure if the wiring harness or anything is different?

I know it's probably not compliant to our standards, but I've had a quote for an OEM one and it's almost $500! That's steep. Anywhere else I could source one?

Sweet thanks Waz!!!

Will this work?  I'm concerned about the mounting bracket.  Not sure if it will fit.
