Hi all

Today I had to go to the Road traffic licensing department to let them test my Bonneville America and failed. The reason was because the Light Bar is not allowed in Switzerland. Before I went to the department I checked that on the Swiss German Triumph web site and did not find any information. Surprisingly I had a look again today, but on the UK web site and there it states clearly that the Light Bar is only for US

I asked what the problem is with that and they told me that they are labeled with HR (which means long distance light) and the allowed one's would be labeled with a B (which means fog light).

Now I have two questions:
- Is there a Light Bar with fog light available ?
- Removing the bar itself is not a problem, but disconnecting the cable seems not that easy. Is the connection somewhere under the gaz tank ?

Any hints appreciated. Thanks

Heady

Yep, under the tank is correct.

I'd just replace the spots with aftermarket fogs.
