Installed a 50 inch led light bar on my M923

[Moto2four]

The headlights on my 923 are plenty for driving, but when going off road and river riding, they leave a lot to be desired. I decided to add a light bar to lighten everything up when off roading. I wanted a 50 inch rigid, but they are stupid expensive. $1599 for a light bar is outrageous. I found a company from my home town that sales a 50 in hybrid (spot/flood) bar for 499, so I figured I didn't have anything to lose since they had a money back guarantee.

Here it is mounted up

Stock lights

Light bar

i mounted it to the bottom of a 3/8 thick sheet of diamond plate I have mounted on the turret rack. The diamond plate is up there as an observation deck for when I take the 923 to the races.

Nice and bright.

I bet those people on the other side of the freeway were not happy, though.

So can you isolate the spots and floods, or are they all wired together? Is it 12 or 24 VDC? C'mon dude, more info. Company name...etc.

I didn't leave it on long. It is brutal on the other drivers.

No isolation of spots/floods. They work on 6-32 volts dc. It came from blackboxlogistics.com. The owners name is Ed, and he is super nice. I emailed him Friday about a light and he hand delivered the light to me while he was out at lunch the same day!

The model is 50in drx hybrid. It came with a wiring harness, but the relay was 12 vdc, so I just made up my own harness with a 35 amp switch.

Looks good. I picked up my 53 inch led bar for 250. I'll put it on next week when I get home. I'm going to mount it on my hard top directly

Nice

Thanks for the info

Unfortunately, tonight I found out that my light bar doubles as a great work light in a pinch.

 

[FASTNOVA]

That's a good use for it too. Does it get too hot to touch?

 

[Moto2four]

Yes, but not ridiculously hot. Ill shoot it with a temp gun next time I run it for awhile and give you an exact temp.

How about posting some pics directly in the thread.
