Large diameter headlamps

[twomorestrokes]

Found a headlamp that matches the theme of my bike, but it happens to be 8 1/2" diameter! Probably too big, especially along with a Schwinn springer. Feel free to post some pics of your bikes with way-too-big headlamps will ya?

Oh Man I do love to show pics of this :wink: .........

I think the big light makes the whole bike
Also I do think the bolt for the Schwinn springer is a perfect spot to attach a light....

I like it! I'll try to latch onto that light I saw.

LOVE giant headlights. I tried to get a huge one for my Triumph Cafe Racer but used a stock BSA GoldStar style. Some of those look great on bicycles.

I love 'em, but still not sure an 8 1/2" headlamp will go with the theme by bike has taken. It's super old and super cool tho...
