Can anyone tell me exactly how much work is involved installing the light bar and lights from J.C. Whitney. Also the wiring of these lights. I know the bar actually is for a Honda but understand it will work on BA.Would I be better off purchasing stock light bar and lights from Triumph? If it is to much headache buying the J.C. Whitney bar I had as soon purchase the Triumph bar and lights. I know I could save money buying the aftermarket bar but would it be worth it?

I am in the process with the JCW bar. Not much trouble at all, but I haven't done the wiring yet, because I have not found the exact lights I want. The chrome bar looks good on the front of the bike though. My daughter asked, "What is that?" I told her "I don't know, but it's CHROME!" She laughed.
Just check out bonnyusa & sandmann. They've completed it and know what they're doing, and they keep it simple enough that even I can understand. I do wish the JCW bar was a little longer than 14"

As Skillet inferred, I've got a write up of the install I did (Triumph bar with aftermarket lights and homemade wiring) as well as bonnyusa's JCW bar install on my website: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~matt_lMatt

Hey Stash,
You made your lighting modification yet? I've still got a nekkid chrome bar on the front of my bike.

Wiring the Triumph bar is no day at the beach either, the only advantage is all the connectors are there and they come with instructions.
I dipped into my curse word arsenal several times during that installation..... I still don't know why Triunph couldn't run the wires through the bar and then install the connectors, oh yeah, that would be too easy on the customer....
