Title: Light Bar Add On.
Post by koiroy on 03/20/04 at 12:08:58

Have any of you Savages considered adding a light bar to the front forks. I think the look is great but I wonder about the ability to mount the bar and ability of the charging system to handle the extra draw? ::)

I added a light bar to my wife's Savage - no problem with the power. It installs utilizing the hardware for the headlight. http://www.heise-workstations.de/ls650/Besitzer/pix/TRHunter3.jpg

Found it on Accessory International - http://www.accessoryinternational.com/cwlightbarprices.jpg

Do the stock turn signals attach to the new light bar by removing the black stem? Can the wiring be run through the bar so it dosen't show? Or is the bar solid? I've been looking at different lightbars and I haven't made a choice yet. Yours look good. Thanks for posting a photo.

The screw on the post of the turn signal is taken off, the signal removed (pulling the wires out completely after disconnecting).

Bar is solid - but you can set it up so the wires are not really seen. Of course, I didn't notice the wires until you said something....now I have to double check them as I am noticing them more! http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/thehoghunter/Mox-lightbar-back.jpg
The only thing I didn't like about it is more the style - I thought they would be back further as most motorcycles have them ( oOo ) where the main light is out more than the smaller spot lights.

I went to a machine shop and had it made. It's 8 inches longer than stock to allow the second stock pad to be attached. Works okay according to the wife - helps her back but she can't lean on it all the time due to the fact that leaning back causes her to sit differently on the seat causing a problem there (and we have the gel seats installed on that bike).
