Thanks for the great video! this really helped me with my headlight install on my 01 magna. I used your electrical tape tip too! My new bucket did not have a hole in it either, but I was able to reroute all of the harnesses under the gas tank by removing those two plastic covers on the side of the bike.
Link for the bucket with compression ring? I have same light but the housing I found uses clips and sucks for trying to hold the light whatsoever and no compression ring
I don't have the link anymore but I used a 5.75" harley Davidson style light bucket with the (newer style tree mount that uses 2 tabs not the older single bolt hanging brow style) and then the light is a daymaker brand that is meant for a Harley. Hope that helps
You have to relocate all the wiring outside the housing except the actual bulb wiring to get the large heat sink to fit. I explain how this is done in the video
The back of the Led unit has a large heat sink and it takes up a lot of space. Also the way the headlight mounts is in a captive ring the stock headlight uses a differnt method so to answer your question no you cannot use the stock bucket
