| Where did you put the mount bar? Does it need to be mounted to the underside of the handhold or does it somehow fit on the license plate bracket?
I am looking at the smaller 8" lightbar or getting a LED license plate frame from Signal Dynamics. I do not want to drill holes or would rather use a place people would not see any if I ever decided to remove it.

| I keep meaning to get pictures of my Swing into my album. I just ran out to the garage and snapped a few of my Admore Light Bar setup and Pelican Case top box. Since I had a nice wide platform to work with, I opted for the 10-3/4" light bar. It's pretty spiffy.    |

| Ah, yes - mine's attached to the underside of the Givi mounting-plate so I didn't have to drill any holes (fortunately).

| I do not have a top case yet.. But after seeing the pictures.. It looks like I will have to think about getting one..
Nice idea with the Pelican Case.... They are so rugged that I cannot imagine you ever wearing one out or breaking a hinge..

I think the way you did it will be the way that I will go with it.. At least until I get a top case, nice to know that the bolt holes will not be seen if removed since you did it from the bottom like that.

The Admore kit isn't cheap, but it is of the highest quality. May I suggest you buy the DennisB Perfect Connector to hook up the light bar. It will make the connections much easier to install, even using Admore's included wire taps. |

| What colour is the light? It looks white and I thought it was a legal requirement to have red at the back and white in front. Have I got that wrong?

| Laurie, the cover is transluscent with red LEDs behind it and yellow for the indicators at the ends. I'll demonstrate mine on the IOW.

| Bigbird's got three pictures in his album of his lights illuminated. They look yellow, presumably because of the camera effect, but they really are red. IOW - not long now.

I've printed my check-list but am resisting the temptation to start using it.

| bikerboy, your link had a comma at the end and therefore wouldn't work. I've taken the liberty of adjusting it so that it does.
