(New!) Topic : Baron ultimate light bar  Author  Post     eightrackpony  Set Reg. Date  :  21/02/2011 Posts  :  53 Location  :  Canada Posted : 10 Apr 2011 - 07:47   Post title : Baron ultimate light bar   Does anyone have any experience with this light bar? Seems like a great looking alternative to the big bulky Triumph light bar for the bird. Any reason why this would not be compatible with the Bird? Link  Author  Post     ezrider3  Chaac Reg.

Plus the way he shows it mounting, you still would need the Triumph light bar to mount them. Just my opinion  Author  Post     feduke  Thor Reg.

Mine are on the brake calipers and mounted that low I have never had an oncoming car flash their high beams at me. They hook right up to the aux. light switch on the TBird too. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but I think they look much better than this alternative, and leave the stock signals in place. The brushed finish matches the caliper, wheel and fork tube perfectly, but you can get chrome, black, whatever.   I'm a secondhand vegetarian. Cows eat grass.

I saw some of the earlier posts on the motolights and really like them too. Pretty sure I'm going to get Caliper mounted motolights but I was thinking of also getting these baron lights to create a hexagram pattern of light. Maybe that's overkill though. Probably just get the motolights. the brushed finish really does look good along side that fork lower.  Author  Post     EnGage  Thor Reg.

Probably just get the motolights. the brushed finish really does look good along side that fork lower. You will be very visible with the motolites. I have the 50 watt version and they are very bright and noticeable, but as feduke says, they don't bother the cars being so low. I put my son on my bike and I rode his in front so I was able to see first hand how they look. With the 50watt motos and the headlight on high beam, it boarders on obnoxious because it looks like you have three highbeams. Because of this I now ride with my headlight on low and the motos on night and day.  Author  Post     DC13  Set Reg.

I am interested in these as an alternative to the HD type light bar.   My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.  Author  Post     EnGage  Thor Reg.

I'm doing my spring cleanup on the bike so I turn them on and snap a shot or two later today from the front: Post edited by EnGage on 14 Apr 2011 - 15:32  Author  Post     Birdman  Set Reg.

I really don't care for the OEM light bar. Much too Law Enforcement looking for my taste. I am looking forward to getting mine installed on the bike. The incident when the car pulled out right in front of me had got me a bit spooked Post edited by Birdman on 14 Apr 2011 - 17:49  Author  Post     Steve  Set Reg.

Every time I see a car in a side street I expect them to pull out and act accordingly, most times they don't, but like you they have tried to get me in the past.

I usually hit the throttle and pass him first and I'm probably 1/2 mile in front by the time he exits. He and I have the Silver Star headlight bulbs which I think are better than the PIAA. From that 1/2 mile distance I can still see his MotoLites clearly, but the headlight beam is no longer even visible. Another friend jokes that he makes me lead because he gets a sunburn if he rides in front of me. They are super, and don't bother oncoming drivers when mounted on the brake calipers, at least.   I'm a secondhand vegetarian. Cows eat grass. I eat cows.  Author  Post     mat1600  Thunderbird Reg.
