Got this idea from the Volusia Riders forum & borrowed it for my 1500 Classic!
Those are $19 chromed fog lights from Walmart. Drilled two holes and light bar installed!
I don't have them wired yet. I don't know jack about wiring so my neighbor will help me with that later. Once I get them wired I can position them too. I messed up just a bit on the brake handle side...the hole wasn't quite close enough to the headlight so I'll have to dremel the windshield just a bit to make some room. That's so I can position the light properly & so it doesn't vibrate against the windshield.
Also, some have mentioned metal on metal causing a rattle so what they did was installed some type of rubber washer between the turn signal bar & the light brackets. I didn't have time to run to the hardware store so I improvised a bit. In the package there is a plastic strip that the lights are mounted to. I cut it to the size of the bracket, drilled a hole and put it between the turn signal bar & the mounting brackets. I'll find out soon enough if it helps with the vibration & eventually I'll find out if it lasts for the long haul.
Anyway, I like that I'll be able to use these to illuminate the road a bit better at night (50w bulbs) and position my headlight a bit more up the road.
