pics of lowers w/cobra lightbar?? - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

hashadenough · 02-05-2009, 01:34 PM

Anybody have pics they can post of their bike with lowers installed?? I would like to see how it looks and where you mounted them..

I have a Memphis Shades - Memphis Fats shield and a cobra lightbar on a '97 ACE 1100.

The national cycles lowers need to hook to a national cycles shield, so they won't work.

The memphis lowers look like they would interfere with the lightbar or turn signals???...

Anybody with pics, please help!!

.......Well I have them on my bike and I am running them with a Cobra light bar......I am not having any problems....they are close but there not touching by anymeans....However...they are under the turn signal.....I still notice the benifit of less wind and rain striking me though...I guess by the time the rain or wind would go through that small space the lower is acting like a Bug deflector on a truck and preventing the what nots to go through.

in case the pic didnt show up here is the link

i had the ms lowers on my bike and did not like the way they look(black tint). they will clear you lightbar and signals with some adjusting! i have a set for sale cheap! if you are interested.i would have to dig them out!they were on my bike about 1 month!

Eric! No fair!!

Toxic, (I love that color by the way!)

Thanks for the reply! That is exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the brackets mount below the triple clamp on the actual fork tubes(?). Probably high enough up not to cause a problem with the fork travel though??

You said less wind hitting you, but did you notice a difference in any helmet buffeting after the install?

Thanks again!

I'll second that color thing, Toxic. That green is just plain AWESOME. I'm guessing it is custom? Mine's purple and could use a touch up. Now I'm thinking more than a touch up.

Sorry if I jumped before I should have.

Nothing meant by it. I have wanted a set of lowers for awhile and this just hit right. If you want them, please go ahead. Just let me know. Again, I'm sorry if I stepped on toes.

No Helmet buffeting....NONE WHAT SO EVER! Even in against a 30 mile wind at 70mph. It's kinda hard to believe how those little pieces can make all the diff.

Yes that is where my brackets mount.

I appreciate the compliment on the color!
People either hate it or love it....I went with it cause it is diffrent (have discovered people (head up rear drivers)

seem to notice me a little more.

I need to update the pic.....since then I have replaced the orange lenses with smoke,added a tank bib painted the radiator cover, and the two little covers by the neck black oh yea and I got rid of the Beep Beep for a Stebel Nautilus air horn.
