I'm curious because I'm looking to customize with a new headlight and they have this goofy headlight mounting block that I'm going to have to modify. Thanks in advance!

Fair enough. Aside from the obvious info available on my profile, I'm an avid motorcycle enthusiast. I've been riding motorcycles since my childhood. I've owned several different bikes over the years but one thing is certain, I'm a V-twin lover. The in-line fours don't speak to me the same. I purchased a used 2005 Big Dog Mastiff a little over a year ago. I haven't done much to it aside from replacing the fluids and a S&S Desperado air cleaner. I'm currently in the process of replacing the headlight because it's of poor quality and the chrome is shot on it. I purchased a RWD Ironcross headlight. I had my stock aluminum mounting block machined down to fit it but the light needs to come forward approx. 2" It's going to take far more modification than I anticipated. I should have been working on it over the winter instead of now but hindsight is 20/20. I've seen this headlight on a Big Dog before. Before I get into welding and more machining/fabricating, I'd like to see if there might be some optional mounting tabs available from the manufacturer? If I left anything out, feel free to ask. I appreciate the forum and it's great to be here!

You're going to have to fab anything you want added to that bike. BD was out of biz, now back, but they wouldn't make an adaptor bracket anyway. @Mr. Wright here on the forum is a metal working guru. He might be able to fab something for you for a fair price. You could also find a metal shop around you to do it maybe.

I'm capable of fabing it myself and with other local friends but thanks for the referral nonetheless. I was hoping maybe they had some other type of mounting tab that might be an easier option is all.
