Hi, need your help. I have the Cobra light bar with this WS. I was at a stop light behind a pick up truck when the driver put it in reverse  and hit the front of my bike bending the light bar, he didn't see me he said. Said the car in front of him was waving for him to back up.

I need to get a new light bar, what other light bars will work with the the Memphis Fats?.  He'll be paying for everything.

Thanks

I've used the one shown below on a couple of different bikes with MS shields, including a Valk.

 Thanks for your response, I looked at it and was very interested, but it says it won't fit with the Memphis Fats, darn!

Check with valkyrieblingandmore.com... they're $500 or so, even for used, even if
they can be found... sure are nice, though, hope you get them replaced... the ones
I'm thinking of are machined from billet... what part bent?

Thanks Mike, will check.

He had a Dodge ram, when he backed up the body cleared the front fender and hit the light bar, bent both spotlight visors and I thought it "twisted" the lightbar where it attaches to the fork as they both looked off, my mechanic said they were  bent and couldn't be starightened out.

Frank take a closer look at the site I posted under "best fit", you'll see all the Valks are listed. A little adjustment maybe need with the MS shield depending on what shield mounting brackets you have. I'm not sure what you were looking at?  Undecided

 Thanks ! Will talk to them as I like that light bar a lot. I did look under Best Fit as you mentioned and saw the Valk as a bike that it would fit, but just below that I saw this:

Important Fitment Details:
Note: Will not fit with Memphis Fats or Slims.
 
Will let you know what they say
