Anybody reproducing the discontinued Cobra light bars? Know where to find any? Any other light bars fit/look right with the Honda windshield?

TIA

You can still get the National Cycle light bar. Works with the OEM and aftermarket shields.
A far better option than the Cobra,....IMHO.

I looked at alot of lightbar options after buying my '97 Standard.  I like mine from Big Bike Parts.  It's beefy....and that beefyness (at least I think) matches the beefyness of the front end and forks on the Valk.  The windshield goes on and off with no clearance problems what-so-ever too.  It wasn't hard to install at all either.   cooldude

I was headed toward the same beautiful Big Bike Parts 55-312 until I saw this on a VTX.  It's from Headwinds and this is the Valkyrie part number plus lights, and a drop kit to clear the windshield.  I'd never seen one on a valk, and that was most of the allure.  I'll stipulate that it's neither beefy nor fat, but it's "competitively" priced, BEAUTIFULLY engineered, manufactured, and chromed, makes a very sanitary installation, and made in the good ol' USA.   cooldude

Really nice folks to work with, too.  If they don't have the MC stuff you're looking for, keep them in mind for other gearhead-related chrome.  No affiliation - just spreading the word. 

Sorry for the low quality phone pic.

Hey Sheets, I guess I filled up your mailbox.  Two emails with a total of 5 pics didn't go through.

Gotta run for a while - I'll post some better pics later this evening,

Dave
I like that bar.
Doesn't come with the lights correct?
The website picture doesn't show the piece parts for mounting the light to the bar...those come with the bar?
AND, the spots are somewhat close to your run/turn signals, next question, from a distance with the spots on can you still see the run/signal or is it washed out by the bright spots?
One more thing, what brand spots did you use, I have some BBP spots that look simular to yours mounted on the top of the engine guard. Now looking again at the pics....not same as yours. Yours 50W?
Sorry for all the questions.........Ken
