The addition of a light bar to your VTX can change the entire look of the bike. Personally, I like the bigger lights, they go well with the Retro look.

There are many choices and I would suggest before you decide, check out the various types of light bars on other bikes to find your preferred look. Some people who don't care for the bar have even mounted the lights on a bracket without a bar.

I think the light bar is one of the best additions you can make to the bike. From a safety factor, it makes you so much more visible to oncoming vehicles during the day and at night.

At night on the dark two lane, there is nothing better than the extra light you shine on the shoulder of the road. It's a great help in spotting the wildlife or road hazards before they become a problem.

Even when riding with a group and looking in your mirror, you will see the bike with a light bar easily but the bike without a bar will get lost in the collection of other bikes.

Simply put, it helps you to see and be seen!

First you remove the turn signals and brackets from your forks and install the signals to the bottom of the light bar. Next, install the bar to the bottom of your headlight mount. Remove your headlight and pull out the wires. Hook the hot wire for your driving lights to the low beam headlight hot wire. They also give you an on / off switch that mounts on the left side of the handle bar so you can turn them off as needed. Button the headlight back up and you're good to go.

The purpose of using your low beam headlight wire is so when the high beam headlight is used the driving lights automatically turn off. If you prefer an always on mode, you can hook the lights into any switched hot wire. I prefer the suggested wiring. By using my headlight high / low beam switch and switching it up and down, I become very visible with the light bar and headlight intermittently blinking.

Again, a top notch quality product at a cost around $280. It will make a great addition to your overall look and improve your visibility and safety 10 fold.
