Auxillary lights for Fatboy?
I am looking to add lighting to my '09 Fatboy. Would like to find a Heritage style light bar and don't necessarily need the turn signals. I do want to keep the windshield docking studs. Any ideas, pics how to accomplish this ? I have seen Fatboys with light bars but never took note of the mounting. Thanks, gentlemen !

make a pair of brackets
i have had the same prodblem on my o5. i couldnt find anything out there for Fatboys. hence the design process started, then had to wait for cnc operator to have time (cos he did it for free) to covert my spec drwing to drafting program, and cut them out of 3/16" aluminum plate. next step, get new pal and co-worker "wolverine" wyatt the metologist to what i thought was gonna be just bend them with a bit of heat, tuned out they were too thick and broke at bends. not to worry, he cut and welded them at bends...leaving me with a TON of hand polishing out all his grinder marks, the welds and slag, before actuall getting to bring them th a nice gloss. take a look at finished product in my bike pic...they slip on and off the windshield clips (if you want them to)

You're right. Found the light bar on J & P. May or may not work with my windshield, but I'm going to try it out. I don't use the shield much in the summer but it is really nice to have in the spring & fall , here in New England.
