So, will this fit..?

Will a Rigid 6" light bar fit under the 2016 headlight surround?

Anybody tried it yet?

This is the unit ... *see linky below

You are talking about attaching it to the plastic under the nose? If so, I would think it would fit as long as there is clearance with the fender when forks are compressed. Personally, I think it would look fugly, but that's me. Put one on and post a picture!

I was considering doing the same thing! I tried searching but got nuthin....

Have found a couple Super Tenere mods like that but not for the FJR. If you get it done, I'd also be interested in seeing the process/pics

I actually have one attached / installed on my Supa10 (*2012*) it is the nuts for being seen and at night...fuggetaboutit. It's daylight.

That's why I was wondering.

Wow, seems you are contemplating spending a lot of needless dollars for lights. You need to check the manufacturer CREE. Great LED lighting, aluminum housings, solid mounts, much cheaper.

I've seen a few of them on trucks at night. So bright it looks like it could have the opposite effect on oncoming traffic. They are so bright that it blinds people coming towards you, especially people with aging eyes. I hate encountering them. I would imagine installing them would lead you to get a lot of people flashing their high beams at you at night.

This would be true if they were run full power at all times. But there's really cool black boxes sold by Skene or ADV Monster that allow you to run the lights at low power normally and then have them automatically go full bright when you turn the high beams on. Or if you insert a couple diodes like I just did on an installation on my wifes NC700, the lights go full bright when the high beams are turned on OR the horn is honked. Very attention grabbing to have LED's go bright in time to the horn!

Not all of LED's can be dimmed, my older upper LED's lights can't be dimmed but my small fork LED's can be and are with the Skene. In fact if I have the Upper switched so they will come on thru the Skene.

I would check with the vendor or MFG to see if the LED bar could be dimmed before I moved to far forward with buying a Skene.

Lots of light is a very good thing. Too much light, not as good. Is the OP's linked light bar directional, or more of a flood? If that, probably not ideal for a m/c, great for an off-road truck of something, which they were probably designed for. Just another opinon.

I really just posted mostly to say, hANNAbONE: for the love of God, please get a new avatar! Old Michael cries about mine all the time for some reason, but I bet he hasn't seen YOURS yet. :lol:

With enough money and a big enough hammer anything will fit. JS.
