I'm looking for a 7" round headlight with bucket in scuff-free condition for my f to e conversion.  I already have mounts, but could use side bolts.  I know there are a few on ebay, but I thought I'd ask on here to find a better price first.

if memory serves me, the bulb itself is same as that from a jeep cj5 or cj7. i know it was on my HD , that being said youd only have to find a bucket. always the option of a bike junkyard, OR my fav., dual dominators. anyhoo   ill see whats avaiil. theres a few here in fs/ft (parting out bikes)

Thank for checking, Aaron.  Yes, I would use the bulb from my f headlamp, but I had considered installing a daymaker style led headlight in the stock bucket at some point.  But, even if I bought just the bucket, then I believe still would need the rim, ring, and hardware: http://www.2wheelpros.com/oem-parts/images/cache/0000228706_0_0_0.gif

i meant the bulb (round) from a jeep. only thing then is finding a can. a housing. i had a truck hit my first gs. while i was on it,  smashed bulb. driver of produce truck said hed come by later to take care of it. naively i believed him. he didnt show. 2 days later i rendered truck inoperable. ended up grabbing a cj light from adv auto. then a can from a honda. err a bucket/housing. all was good.  that can was part of the honda in my username. other honda part was a brake lever from i think a cbr? idk it was 2003 lol. anyhoo, theres a few options out there.
