Hard to say ... your bike looks good as it is, adding a light bar "might" give it a less aggressive appearance. I'd definitely go with the TL P7 headlight though.

Looks good as is. the light bar beefs up the front a lot if thats what you want. no light bar and no crash bar looks more streamline.

With a name like Jameson I'd skip the light bar and move up to a whiskey bar. Call me when you open!

Were you thinking about adding the light bar for style, or for visibility?
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 like the Vicla look I'm just not sure the light bar will flow with my bike. That's my biggest concern, cosmetics lol.
