Title: Good Light Bar for 1500?
Post by: thenemos on September 24, 2016, 16:19:57 PM
If you can't find a F&S Light Bar for the 99 VN1500J, what is a good alternative?  If I can get one where I don't have to replace or move my side-mounted OEM turn signals, that would be ideal.

Light bars replace the existing bar which holds the turn signals... so regardless you will need to move them.


Have a look at the mods for light bars.

Yeah, I didn't word that  very well.  I meant I wanted to use the existing turn signals, in the original configuration (horizontal).  I knew I'd have to remove the OEM bracket to make room for the replacement light bar. 
Thanks, I will definitely take a look,

I did the No-Bar light bar solution and it worked out great!  http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/lightbar.html

Today I saw a guy riding a Drifter in mytown and followed him into a store parking lot. We were talking and I was looking at his bike. The light bar was stock and the PO added the spots.Here are some pics. It looks great if you can't locate the accessory bar.

I just tapped a couple holes in the existing light bar.  As soon as I get my bike back from the guy modifying the saddlebag mounts, I'll install the spot lights and show you how they turned out.
