    Always thought that the original small headlight on many Harleys looks a bit small & wussy.
    Just fitted a lovely 7" chrome Baileys Headlight to my FXSTC & it just looks right. Was an easy fit & I cut & joined the wires in the light using those low temp solder joiners & heat gun.
    Same mount as standard , so easy to bolt on. Originally got wrong light from EasyR & returned it & got the Baileys. No fuss, quick delivery & got refund coming. They have a huge range of Harley stuff. New light throws a great beam &  has got lots of positive comments from my mates. What next I wonder? Been doing lots of little things to my bikes while stuck at home most of the time due to virus. I know most people are blacking out their bikes, but I still like old school chrome & polished alloy. My Custom is a 2006 & it suits her.

    I thought the same the 5 3/4 looks small . I fitted a 7 but thought it looked odd too big for my liking anyway. Is there anything in between that looks ok.I've been thinking a 6 0r 6 1/2 .

    I like that look Lozz, so much so that I did it to my 2006 wideglide in 2009, nice bike mate, the custom was a winner in the classic Harley looks department.
