Another novice question from the U.K.

We have the same model as yours, I had HD give me a quote - was over GBP1000, so I passed on that.

I’m aware of two guys having done it DIY, both had problems with getting a light to fit the bucket

Jesus, that’s H-D at their finest. £1000 is ridiculous.

Did you or your mates, ever get it done?

Maybe the bowl on our decorative set up is bigger? Not sure why a headlight wouldn’t fit.

Someone might be be able to answer it. Does it need something inside the bucket to secure it.

Hi all

After all the help you have already given me, I thought I’d ask for your help again.

The UK version of the freewheeler doesn’t tend to have a 7” headlight like the US version. I’ve got two smaller lights.

It seems like an empty space to me just having a decorative cover over the housing where your headlight is.

When opening the front decorative cover, there is no hole to put cables through.

Does anyone one know what I would need to fit a 7” light in the housing please?

Thanks

Andy

Any way you could post a picture of the front of your FW?

Andy, I did a search for Freewheelers in England. Is this what the front of your Freewheeler looks like?

I haven’t had it done, aside from the outrageous price of the hardware, they quoted 5 hours Labour to fit it, just sounded like such a rip-off. The other two guys used non Harley-Davidson parts, my understanding is they didn’t have the correct hardware to fit the light.

South Africa, and if I’m not mistaken Europe and Australia, also have the same setup

Are those 2 lights LED or halogen?

I may be missing something, but it does not seem that big of a deal to drill a hole on the housing, install a grommet, run a power wire & ground up to the housing & fuse it as there's plenty of room. Remove the cover & install a 7" led light.
