Default Lightbar for c50

I ordered a oem lightbar for my c50 and then found out that it will not work with cobra freeway bars. With the forks completey turned the turn signals will hit bars. I guess my question is will cobra lightbar will work without hitting bars. Also where is a good place to purchase chrome lowers. Thanks

Move the signal lights to the hole in the bar that is almost impossible to use. I don't remember the details now but that's what I did with mine. It should work. If no one else chimes in I'll take some pics this weekend. Do a search on it as well.

I also have the 06 C50T with OEM light bar. I added the Cobra freeway bar. Didn't interfere with turning radius. I then added Johns forward control kit which meant adding HB Smalleys extension for my freeway bar, which limited the turning radius, so I drilled holes in the side of the lightbar and mounted the turn signals horizontally, problem solved. I also installed the value accessories lowers, which slightly affect the turning radius, not much.

C50D -
I have the same set-up as you with Cobra and the OEM light bar. Tell me about those lowers you have. Did you make them? What about the clamps. What is the material - lexan or plexiglass? Do you have a pattern. Could I get a copy of it.

Thanks

If you can see in this pic, I used the forward hole to mount the siginal.



Here is the space that I have.
