Dave, I'm not an expert on this by no means but I think the only light bar that will fit with the Honda windshield is the Cobra.  I don't know if you can buy it new anymore.  I do know there is a used one on ebay right now though.

While no longer made, a RIVCO will fit, if ya can find one used.

Dave....

I have this one (I think it's one of the lightbars your looking at)......





It works great with the stock Honda-line windshield.  I take my windshield off and off all the time.  It's not a problem at all.  Plenty of clearance to get it on and off.  The light bar is an easy install too.  Didn't take but an hour or so. 

Got it here......

I ordered the Big Bike Parts lightbar and have been extremely happy with it.  Mine is similar to the one that Key Boarder has, except that my lights included visors.  I ordered through Direct Line Parts: http://www.directlineparts.com/product.asp?pid=2403&str=2

I was headed for the 55-312 when I found the Lower Triple Tree cover from Headwinds.  It did require modification to the lower windshield bracket.  The bolts that hold the cover to the lower triple tree come up through the holes the bracket's bolts come down through.  After I cut the bolts and drilled holes in the bracket I was told an authoritative blow with a mini-sledge will break the spot welds.  That would have been MUCH faster and easier.

No affiliation - just a very satisfied customer.

Hi Dave Several of our chapter members have purchased light bars from Custom World from Quebec here in Canada. Fit and finish is top notch and they show a listing for Tourers. Check them out at page 84 and 85 Two different model lights .

You and me Both

Not only am I undecided, I am not sure which site offers the best deals
 as well as what is still available.

I kinda like the Cobra , that I'm told is no longer made. But I dislike having the signals moved to vertical
rather then horizontal.

I just received my light bar from Cruisermax, I do not have it mounted yet so I can't show pics, but I think they have the best deal money wise. I saw one on flebay for $399.00.
