I would really like to have the light set up in this picture.

I know nothing about the photo other than they used this bar. JC Witney 13446G

I'm a little afraid to buy the $40.00 bar. I will ask if they would accept it back I guess. Anyone done something similar?

I actually want the extra drain on my electrical. What, in this picture, are they mounting to?

Not sure how you'd mount that to one of our bikes BUT here's a link I saved from the old forum where Jay mounted some lights to his headlight bucket...might be less of a risk for you to purchase. If you scroll down the thread a ways you'll see what he did:

This is where I think it would mount to. JC Witney couldnt tell me the hole spacings though.

This is what I have now.

It's a 78 without the maggot fairing.

Any idea what the bike is in the first picture I posted?

An old Honda Magna ???



Hard to tell from that pic

Just chatted with a JC Witney specialist, and I guess there is a 1 year money back return policy!!! So, I'm going to use my tires for a year and send them back and get new ones every year

I do the same with my car batteries, since when they test them they always seem to come up as bad, hoping if they tell you it's bad you will buy a new one. The machine is rigged

Ok, not really, I lied. But the thought has crossed my mind.

Is that a photoshop job or a real pic with it attached ?



If so it looks to be attached behind the name plate on the bars ?

 

[Blindstitch]

It's a real picture.

Nate- where can I find more pictures of your bike? I have a 78 and I also want to lose the maggot raiding. Did you just pull off the plastic piece, and clean up the internals, or did you do a lot of custom work?

Thank you for the compliment my friend

I'd like to avoid changing the subject here, so I will try and help guide you through what I did, right and wrong. Check your messages by clicking "profile" under your name in the top right corner. I really want all the help I can get with this light bar set up.

To be completely honest, I'm not done with it yet. I have the key surround from an 82 on the way as well as a bracket from an 82 to replace the one I made if it works. So there is some stuff hanging yet, but I wouldn't go back to that plastic

. It's odd, but I don't mind it on Sheps bike, but it didn't last long on mine
