Lightbars
New guy here from Wilminton, DE. Picked up my '07 Black Nomad about two weeks ago and have added saddlebag rails, luggage rack and Iso grips. Sounds like a lot, but negotiated as part of my trade deal so no real extra out of pocket.
Now I'd like to add a good lightbar before I step off the ledge and install the bigger lowers. Anybody got any advice on what they've installed and pros/cons? Any and all advice is much appreciated. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I did mine from CWI. It is not a bar but indiviual lihts that bolt into the windscreen mounting holes. I had to have them replaced with the sealed beam fix due to premature burn out of the halogen bulbs. Retailer was very accomadating. I like mine alot.

I went with a Cobra bar and spots, nice setup, fairly easy to install, bolts right to the track that also holds the windshield. excellent chrome and nice big bar. My bro has the same setup.

Yeah, what Doc said. I installed a Cobra on my 07. I like the fact that the signal lights mount farther out on the sides and not mount hanging down as on the Harley type lightbar :)

Thanks for the input to everyone.
I hd the Cobra on my Volusia and liked the way it set up...just wanted to see if there was anything else out there I didn't know about. I'll check out the info from flightdoc and scoot and see if it's within my "limited" mechanical abilities. Much obliged for the posts. |

I got the ones from Value Accessories, the CWI ones.
Mine came with the sealed beam lamps. They look good and are easy to mount.

Thanks ccmjr77.
Do you have any pictures with the lights on your bike you could share? |

What's nice about the Cobra is it keeps the original lines of the stock signals. It took me a little while to get used to it.

![]() Thats a pic of them[/quote:o0rtp9hu] That is them exactly. The only difference is that I put the wires in a different place. I will try to get a pic and post tonight. I connected mine so that they come on and stay on when the key is turned on. I did not put in a switch. One of the real nice things about these lights is the there is no bar and no moving of the signals. They just bolt on.

Hello, I am new to this forum, but not new to nomads. I have an 05 Nomad that I installed 4" driving lights on the oem turn signal bar with 1" chrome p clamps. Works very well.

This is the only way I can figure out how to get a pic on here, click on the above attachment and you should see a pick of my bike with a Cobra lightbar. the signal lights are straight out not hanging down. I liked the looks a lot better that is why I took this route.

I ordered a Cobra bar today from my dealer. Cobra was a hundred bucks less expensive than the KAW version from the 07 Cruiser Accessories catalog. Free mounting since I bought my bike from them doesnt hurt either. Hope to have the bar on by next Thursday, then I can light up the night.
