Will be interesting to see how that looks.......sounds cool.
Just a thought.
I like the look of the full lamp housing. The bullet shape flows nicely. What about leaving it as is and find a small vintage flashlite with a domed glass lens to fit into the end? Something like this:
On the other hand, without seeing it with the whole bike in the picture, it's hard to say if it would be out of scale and over power the rest of the bike.
The light definitely went on with that new jewel headlamp idea! And I like the painted stripe, maybe a 'brick red' color? Like was mentioned, you sort of have a soft glow to this whole build, wouldn't want it to detract.....I heard 'subtle' is in this year....
If your going for "vintage salt flats hot rod", you probably don't need a headlight at all! @Bike Bum pointed that out earlier on the Bare Bonnieville. Those racers in your photo shaved everything possible to go faster. Do dads should be considered don't dads!Not sure if "solt glow" or "subtle" are my style.
I'm looking for more of a "cool flow" and "vintage salt flats hot rod" vibe.
More to come.

agree think that bullet nose is overpowering for the sleekness of that frame in my humble opinion
My first instinct on the bullet nose was right. I'm just not feeling it at all.
In fact I'm not feeling the scale that the horn light would take either. I think both options take away from the beauty of the jeweled light.

I like the shape...but not the size. The jeweled body with a more conventional bezel, might be okay.
