I'm about to add a light bar and want to know what the feel is out there on the best one.
I've just added a 21" Memphis fats screen and I'm thinking about lowers as well. And while where talking about lowers , what lowers should I get? I want chrome lowers.
I like the look of the show chrome light bar, simply because of the angle in the bar itself.
Do the honda indicators go straight onto all light bars or do the bars come with them.
I should also say I've just made up my own light extension. So the head light and bar will be about 1 1/2 " from it's standard place. I hope thats enough to get outside the screen.
Thanks

I run the Cobra you will have to get the adaptor to move the bar forward but they work good and easy install

Hey thanks for that.
On the cruiser customizing site in the pic of the bar is straight.
Is that an old model? I see yours has a curve to it.
Can i affix the indicators I already have to that bar?

I went with the Big Bike Parts / Show Chrome bar. They only list it for the 1800 Retro but it bolts right up. Part# 55-312. I liked the looks and when I got it was really impressed. The bar are a machined piece of aluminium and the quality is very good. Make sure you order the adapters for the turn signals. Part# 55-122T. I went with the Arlen Ness 2" Speeding Bullet turn signals. I think it looks better than the stockers. The adaptor # for these is 16-111T. I wired them on a seperate circuit so they are not controlled by the headlight. I put the visors on the driving lights after I took the picture. They really add to the retro look. It really ties in to the headlight also. Visor # 1-229. Good luck.

I just went with the Cobra. I don't know if they changed the style recently but I like the way my blinkers point outward instead of under the spotlights. The bar is not straight, it angles in towards the spotlights. One complaint, they could have hid the wires better, I bought chrome cable ties to dress it up. This is a great link for wiring I found on the site.
