    here are a few different configurations, the two on the right are using a spacer and the one on the left is not.

    I just got one of these and took it to the Baja 1000. I'm sold. It wasn't a perfect fit for me, but I think I have an off-brand bar and the mount is a "custom" job. Either way, took about 15 minutes and a beer. It's easier with two people.

    me too if I can save up. iv been wanting one since he got them out.my light is useless on roof because the glare, you cant keep windshields clean down here with the bugs and dirt all the time so I cant use it at all till I get oone that's why I hopwe they do work good. I read a lot saying they are great.

    Sure. I'll snap a pic, but it might be this weekend since I leave at dawn and get home after dark. Yay winter.

    Here you go. The thing in the center is a Velcro strip to keep the wind from bouncing up-and-down and making a rattling noise. That's because I did not drill new holes and squeezed the shield on. I'm going to either throw a tack weld in the center or some JB Weld.

    Very nice. does the bar come unpainted? Or is that something I need to do on my own?
