My F&S light bar got trashed in my recent accident. If you decide not to use yours, I would be interested in it.

I've found mine for a very cheap price, but it was really in bad shape... the good thing was that it already had holes for blinkers installation (both laterally and below): I've choosen to mount them under the spotlights.
Here you can see the result...

- February 28, 2018, 16:13:58 PMNot being able to see the ends of the light bar I would guess you can at the end install your stock signal lights. Looks like a F&S light bar......for my new bike Pearl I am building a custom light bar but the base is a F&S light bar......

I'm guessing you are a patient manFixed the radiator cooling fins that were bent. Cleaned and touched up the radiator.

See, more ideas to think about!
