(install video and parts list in link)
Harley doesn't make an oval daymaker headlight, just a 5.75" one.
Like other Night Rod and Night Rod Special owners, I wanted to upgrade my lighting, but I also wanted to go oval-shaped to update the look of my bike.
I read dozens of pages on 1130cc on how to change to the oval headlight (you guys are the best), but there were two problems:
1) It cost damn near $600 CAD just for the parts!
2) This would still only give me an H9 and H11 for lighting, and I wanted to go LED.
So here's a link to what I did, and why, and what I bought:

Or if you just want the link to the video only (saves you the background story of my existence):
