Because of the dark roads and abundance of deer near my home it is time to add some more lights to the old girl. I have a 13 America and they are no longer making the light kit for our bikes. I have only been able to find 1 so far and am not willing to pay the asking price.
I do have an OEM bar from my brother's bike with slight damage, but would need to find new buckets and relocate my turn signals.
My question is what have some of you used instead of the Triumph light bar?

Hopefully you're not still using the stock headlight. It's been my experience that good or great light can't really be had without spending some bucks. With my last headlight upgrade on my 02, I shopped around and settled on a quartz "trillient", which cost about $300 and worth every penny. On my later Indian I spent $400 replacing the stock headlight with a "LED Projector" type light and again, worth every penny even if the price DID hurt. I've smacked deer 4 times in my 40 year career with bikes and I'll spend almost ANY kind of money not to do it again! What ever you do, make sure you buy a modern LED light or lights. The difference is amazing and gives you some peace of mind!

Too bad you have a 2013. There's a great auxiliary light bracket available for 2002-2010 models before they widened the forks. https://jack-be-quick.com/products/america-2002-2017/
The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination! John 3:16

I bought the H4 LED that Eddy has on his web site very bright and it is the new generation without all the extra cooling fins.
