Ditto this on both counts. I can't imagine riding at night WITHOUT the light bar. Doubles the field of vision and visibility to others. A win both ways.

I have the stock Triumph lightbar. First, I recommend getting a lightbar as I think it makes me FAR more visible, and it gives me darn near 3x the light at night. I have my lights set to be just outside the main beam light, and it makes a huge difference in how well I see! I do agree that the Triumph bars stick out a bit. I wish they were about 1" or so closer to the main beam.

On the sissy bar - you mentioned getting the short one but I'd urge you to consider the tall model. The short model is supposedly so short it doesn't add much comfort - sits too low on the back. My fiancee really likes the tall bar.
