How can adding a big pile of chrome parts to the front of your bike be anything but AWESOME!

I like the light bar look. If you were asking me, I'd say yes...put it on there without a doubt.

I don't think a conventional light bar would be the best thing for style, on that particular bike. There are much less conspicuous options for increasing lighting.
I have to agree with quote,that style of bike no light bar

I would put the light bar. The light bar will go with the Vicla style...

I really like the look of you bike as is. Its slick. But, if you do add the light bar I would suggest adding a engine guard too. I think it would flow together nicely. Just my 2 cents.

That view makes me think it's missing something.

I'd vote for the light bar...especially with the truck-lites

I have to agree with the others, that you have a "streamlined" look going on there and I think the lightbar would take away from that. In my opinion the headlight bezel doesn't look right, a little to bulky for the rest of the bike.
