I called my local stealership and.......fibbed a bit. I told them I found it online for $230 and after scratching his head for awhile....said he could go as low as $250. SOLD!!!!!!!!!! Hey, they lie to us so sometimes we've gotta lie back. Give it a shot.

Bob,
I just got myself a Cobra lightbar from my dealership for $220. and he threw in the relocator kit as a Christmas present. But be warned, I have the 21" Memphis Fats and even with the relocator kit I can't get the Cobra to line up without hitting my Windshield. Plan on see the dealership tomorrow to see if he can finish the job for me or if he gave me the wrong extender. Either way I think you can't go wrong with buying a lightbar. Oh by the way I would like to give a personal thanks to Bigcountry0269 for all his help today with trying to guide me in the installation of the lightbar. Also Bob, he has a 4" relocator that will work with the Cobra.

Use the stock switch. Just drill a hole big enough for the top of the switch (threads) to fit through and mount it there. Center and mark it first though. Very clean look.

I mounted my switch just below the or just above the VTX sticker. Can't remember which and I'm at work (bike's not here). Either way, centered. Good luck!

It will change the way the wind comes around the front of the bike. In the comment I was talking about the Show Chrome lightbar that cronicdrummer has. It is a little wider and twice as thick as the Hondaline Bar. To what affect it will change the wind on yours, I don't know. I've never owned a Hondaline Lightbar or the Windshield you have. GG :D

I just sat on my bike and shined the lights at the garage door from about 30 feet away and aimed them. You can switch from low to high beam and adjust the spots somewhere in between the two. Then take it for a ride and see how they work.
