I have the Cobra. I think it is the same one Trip has except I have clear lenses. I replaced the bulb unit with sealed beams. I had a problem with bulbs blowing.
Someone makes a lightbar with the signal lights hanging down like the Harleys have if that is of interest to you.
Oh yeah, welcome to the , ahh, I'm not sure what this forum is (and I mean that in a good way ) but welcome.

I don't have a lightbar, per se - but I do have driving lights. These are the billet mounts made by CWI. You can get them at Value Accessories.

I have got the same lights CJ has. I like them. They also fit very nicely with my fairing. I don't like the light bars that make you flip the turn signals out wider.
Do these lights mount to the turn signal bar? I've also been looking for running lights, but was not sure where to put them.

Did you mean the CWI lights like in my pictures (above)? No, they have chromed, billet aluminum brackets that mount to the windshield mounting brackets. They sit maybe 3/8" above the turn signals.
Gadget has got an alternative if you want to save a few (lot) of $$$. May not be as fancy, blingy, showy, ego-inflating as the $200+ set-ups, but it gets the job done.
