Light Bar for 99 Nomad

What do you guys suggest for a light bar for a 99 Nomad? I would like the bar with turn signals included. Any suggestions on which one and where to buy?

I don't believe the light bar came with the turn signals included. The light bar replaces your turn signal bar and you use your turn signals, IIRC.

Or, I have these highway lights with intrigated turn signals. You could ditch your original turn signals, or run both.

o.k., I could get a set of stock turn signals to go on, as mine have been changed to some cheap looking things by previous owner. With that, is there a light bar you all recommend or stay away from?

I spotted some lights in the JP Cycle that have slim LED turn signals built into the mount bar... more modern looking than the conventual round lights you commomly see... depending on your tastes..

Have you looked at Gadgets page? There are a couple options for simply adding spotlights to the current turn signal bar. I haven't done it myself (yet), but it seems like an acceptable alternative to spending $300+

If you need turn signals more in keeping with the style of the bike - and want them combined with a light bar... then maybe you should take a look at some of the Cobra etc light bars designed to fit the '99 Classic?

There's little difference in the mount between the Classic and the Nomad, and your only problem is likely to be mounting everything far enough out in front so you avoid a clash with the screen or lowers.

All these other suggestions are good ones... but don't really address your problem with the cheap looking turn signals inherited from a previous owner.

Here's another set I just stumbled over on Ebay which are advertised to fit almost anything? They show as compatible.
