Default Passing Lamps

I think they are called passing lamps.

I just noticed a post by Wanaby with pictures.

Are these Harley lights? Do they just mount to the forks, or is there some special mounting hardware required?
Are they on all the time?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Probably the Harley units that mount to the forks. I would consider them permanent, but you could rig some disconnect hardware for the wires.

I'm looking for lights that mount onto the crash bars.

yup- pretty much permanent... they do have their own on/off switch, but i ride with them on all the time.
they are "frenched" (thats the "hood" part)- all h.d. parts
just involves mounting the lights and then moving the turn signals- the lights hook up pretty easily.

i think that this is the main part that you are looking for (be sure to get the right one for your year and model):
