Anybody know? I've never seen a picture of them together, but it seems like it ought to work...

Yes it will Mike ...When Hoppe sold the fairings he had a note attached " Will only work with the Cobra brand lightbar " .

I've seen several of the Cobra lightbars with nasty pitting and sorry chrome workmanship however VRCC member's Punisher and  Misunderstood has them on their Valk's and they looks great.( Just saying if you're buying used ).

Here's a pic of my bike with the Hoppe, and the Rivco light bar (mounts very much like the Cobra).  Fairing comes off and on, very easy...

I've got that combo on MAGNUM, and it looks sweet.  The only thing I found, was that the top of the light rubs against the fairing and will eat at the paint.  I placed a piece of velcro loop side above the top of the light so that the light would rub on it rather than the paint. So far, so good.  I don't have a closeup pic, but if you'd like one,  I'll take it this weekend .

Nice looking bike. I guess Rivco light bars must be more unobtainable than Cobra ones,
I didn't know there was such a thing...

Thanks, that would be great. My fairing paint is shot anyhow... the paintjob sagged around
the lower fasteners... but I guess I'll need to know how to deal with the lightbar lights rubbing
on it whenever I get it repainted...

Here ya go Mike.  I also sent them to you in the email address you have listed on VRCC profile.
Note the pic showing the small velcro patch between the light and the fairing to protect the paint from the rubbing vibration against the paint.  Hope these give you the views you wanted. If not, let me know.  Gear Jammer out.
