Default Light bar on a lo?

Any lo's running a light bar? Been thinking about doing it but can't decide if it will look good.

Talking Aux Lamps on a Lo

Rojuwi,

I have a 2010 Fatboy Lo and bought the standard H-D lightbar kit in black (part # 68000026) and added the smoked aux lamp bulbs (68273-03A). I also ran a separate circuit and wired a automotive relay to the switch so that I can run the aux lights independent of the Hi beams. However, H-D now has a special cable that will let you do that without the hassle. Attached is a photo with stock (chrome) trim rings.

Although this looked pretty good, I ordered the HD chrome "eyebrow" trim rings for the headlight (69733-05) and aux lights (69732-05), then had them powder coated black. The second photo shows (with the dogs) shows the black trim rings, which I think look better. They also make night time riding a LOT safer.

Best of Luck

Old Navy

I'd like to put the black one on my Lo but they don't have the mount for the bullet turn signals underneath.

That would be sweet with the turn signal under. Might have to figure something out.

Did you get a price on the powder coating? I was quoted almost the cost of the bar for it so said screw it.

I've got the aux bar mounted on my Lo:

Will be replacing all bulbs with LEDs next week.

HD does sell kids to move the turn signals to the aux bars, both for Bullets as for the flat lense ones. You just have to powder coat them:

Do checkout OneBob's Lo: he has the flat lenses mounted.
JoseWales has the bullets mounted.
Both are nice.
