Install took about 3 hours, the website shows washers to hold the bar in place but my kit didn't come with any, the standard screws are solid though....

Progressing through

I'm pretty sure if I run into any vampires they are toast....

Bugs sure love the light bar though......

So now I'm up for some night rides, just need my buddies not to wuss out!

The install was easy, I was able to get it done myself by using the roof as a pivot point for the bar.

It comes with a crap ton of wire, way more than needed, I didn't have any crimps on me so I just zip tied it up for now.

Only 2 annoying things.

1) The wire from the light cannot be routed behind the bracket since it is flush at the bottom, I wedged it under the bracket and under my hood panel, hopefully some memory will develop in the cord.

2) It creates a whistling noise as air passes by it even at 25 mph. Normally I'm rocking out to some good tunes. Or I just imagine it's folks whistling at my sweet as light bar.

But I'm enjoying it. If anyone has any questions about just ask!
