I'm with Chopper Paul. Can't wait for the new setup...I'd take that "mock-up" you had posted!  Question, will the stems only accept the Kellerman type signals, or will we be able to screw on some small bullets if we wanted? By the way, here in Germany, Kellermans are the s%*t. Oops 12:20 am my time....time fer another one

We designed the stalks around the 8mm Kellermann post. Therefore, the stalks will accept any light with an 8mm stalk.

Brent, I'll arm wrestle Johnny for the mock up bar. No, seriously,I would find it rude to ask for a discount and would be happy to send pix for advertisement. Everything my brother and I ever got from you was top notch and more then fairly priced. I'll Be needing several units in black and in chrome. you'll be getting photos of bikes other then just TBA etc.(dare I say Harley). This item lends itself to any custom with a block mounted head light. You've got a real winner here. I hope you retire on it. No,wait,keep makin'stuff!

The blocks have come back from plating and now we're just waiting on the standoff pieces to come back. I fully expect to this complete and ready to go by Feb. At least in chrome. More versions to come later, after the sting of the tax man wears off.
Thanks again!

It's been a long time coming, but we've finally put the finishing touches on this signal light bar project. Aside from the plating delays, the main issue was the wiring. Like our lighting kits for the Bonneville, we wanted this to be a true plug-n-play installation. As shown in the open headlight image, you can see the setup that was necessary to accomplish this. Thanks to NewBonneville's invaluable technical mind, Tod, there's no need for a single wire to be spliced. As simple as can be. We'll have these beauties available by next week. We also have a white light version that will be used for driving lights. They look exactly the same but with clear lenses and white LED lights. The version shown uses universal LED signals. We built it around Kellermann signals, so they can be used as well, in a premium version of the kit. Thanks again to everyone for your input!! -brent

Thanks Ben! Right now we're doing some projects for the Bonneville. What would you like to see for the AM/SM? It might be time to revisit the tank console...

Any word on pricing yet? I figured I'd hold off on the rivco turn signal relocators in favor of this. Also, will you be selling the classic leather fork pouch again? Really the only fork pouch i've seen that I like.

Not yet. I'm hoping to keep it under $200. We should have them on the site first thing next week with all the details.
Sorry, the fork pouches have been discontinued.
Thanks for the interest!

Off topic a bit Brent but do you do the black Lucas taillight without all the extra turnsignal attachments that are on your site. And you how many bucks? Cheers Chris
All the best

Hi Chris - We can, but your best bet would probably be to get a taillight and have it powder coated yourself. It'd be much cheaper than having us do it. Those black lights do look good!

Just put the new stuff on the site. I think all the work that went into this project has been well worth the effort. This is definitely the coolest Driving Light Bar and Signal Bar on the market (IMNHO  ) More info - HERELet me know what you think (unless it's negative. i've had enough of that in the past couple days  ) Thanks again to everyone. Your input is absolutely invaluable!!! -brent

Thanks Benny! Yeah, those lines are too cool. Spiegler had a ton of demo color combos at a trade show last month. Believe it or not, white line and black fittings looked VERY cool!

yeah...those anodized blue fittings looked like they would go nicely on the new lighter blue the '08's come in. I'm not a big color match guy, but I can see how that would look cool. Especially if you could get your calipers done in that color too....

It's hard to tell. Does the twin kit use the stock mount? It looks like it on the TBike site. If it does, this signal bar may work. I just can't say, with any level of confidence....

Do those driving lights do anything for rider visibility? Or just for "be seen" factor?

I don't know that you'd want to drive with only the driving lights, but they're very bright. I made a mistake earlier saying that they're LED. We broke into one and they're actually halogen, so that should give you an idea of how bright they are. They will definitely increase the "be seen" factor.

Gotcha. Sure. They're very bright little lights. I haven't ridden with them at night, so I can only assume. But they certainly won't hurt visibility.

Since I have bar end signals on my personal bike, I'll be replacing permanently the signal bar with the driving light bar. I'll let you know my thoughts. We can do any component of this kit in black. When the light go on my bike for good, you can bet they'll be black ;-)
