Looking to add drving lights to my Low Rider

    I have a detachable windshield on my bike and I'm having a hard time finding a light bar that will accommodate a fit.  I find myself using my husbands lights ahead of me because riding with my headlight is like walking with a flashlight.  My friend has suggested adding driving lights to my crash bars but after researching and reading the forums I'm not sure that's what I want and would perform like I need for night riding.

    It seems we always come home after the sun goes down.  Not so bad on the straight roads but on the mountian roads it gets a little dark around the corners.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    That narrow glide front end will make it difficult to find a bar and lights. I did a quick look on Kuryaken's site and here is the result. Wish I had more to offer...

    I would suggest adding a hi wattage replacement headlight too. I run a 100/80W instead of the stock 65/55W bulb.

    Your team should be able to fab some bracets to add some Wally-World lights - WAY cheaper than the clearwaterlights above

    I will ask my fabricator if he can make me a custom bar to accomodate some lights.

    If you are going to be riding with other bikes with these lights make sure they are an aimed light (Cover over the bulb) if you can look through the lens and see the actual bulb it will be a shotgun style light and it will be too bright to have on around other riders

    RA, check out my bike pics, especially the one with my son's Intruder.  He mounted WalMart specials to his turn signals.  Total cost was about $20.00.
