Source & photos of bikes with 5"-6" headlightd
« on: December 09, 2016, 10:19:11 AM »
Looking to put a smaller headlight on this project.   Gotta be big enough to fit the wiring in there.  5"-6"
Post up photos of your bike if you fit the bill.   Where'd you find it.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

A CB/CL350 or 360 twin headlight is smaller(about 6 3/8")than the stock headlight by a little and has enough room inside.

I hope you don't ride much at night as the smaller headlight gives less light.
