I thought I saw a post about Brent creating a small lightbar bracket. Does anyone know if this is available yet?

I haven't seen it on his site yet but I did talk to him on the phone about it among a few other things. He did post a pic of a prototype version a few weeks back so you aren't dreaming it up.

Brent,

It appears that with this being a flat piece of metal you would need to have a pretty significant slant on lights. I currently have the JC Whitney lightbar and love the way it looks (aligned to headlights and close in).

Other than mounting with longer bolts, any thoughts on a way to have the lights higher and in line with headlight?

My biggest complaint of the JC Whitney bar is that it isn't rock solid. I get some play when I hit bumps, etc. So far I don't ride at night that much and the bumping adds some level of visibilty during day...Overall though, I am looking to a more solid set up that looks similar to what I already have mounted.

Yep. That's the big issue we've run into. I think it may be a killer... It may be back to the drawing board.

I have the MA's bracket and it does the same. It shakes when you go over bumps and I only have my blinkers on it. Who ever makes one needs to make it solid.
