I need a lightbar with two more headlamps on them for better vision so some blind drivers in vehicles can see me better. Are there any bolt on kits available for the s 50 without major modifications? If so, who makes them and about what is the costs? I want to be seen better on the road since I live and ride around the watermelon 500 here in Atlanta.:bluethum:
 
I have a S50 and was planning on adding a light bar too. Then I ran across the two sites below and started re-thinking that idea. While the lightbar is a big improvement, I've seen a few three light arrangements with the additional two lights much lower and have come to the conclusion that this is the most effective setup, at least in my opinion. And that is the way I am going to go.

The problem is that there isn't much hardware available for mounting on the forks and what I have found is very expensive (such as the motolights.) I think I will mount lights off the engine guard and see how I like it. It will be cheap and there are lots of clamps etc. that will work. And if I like how it turns out I might then refine the installation later.

I like both setups on the tri setup and the lamp below stock headlamp. Decisions, decisions, decisions... The two lamp configuration looks less likely to draw too much amps, while the tri lamp configuration cannot be run constantly due to high amp draw!!! I will have to research on how much amps my alternator can safely deliver without too much drain on it. Going to check on bulbs with less draw for the tri lamp configuration, possibly with led or superbright on the twin setup. Got to do research now to decide. Will return after decision and testing on amp draw. Hopefully my factory service manual will help in my research.:lol4::banana::roll:
 
Well, the LAMP below the stock lamp? I just bought a fog light kit, and mounted the thing there. That draws 55Watts and all is ok.

Now, with the 3-Lamp setup, the main plus the two outers? The two outers are lower wattage than the main lamp, so the combined wattage of both the light bar lamps should be around 60Watts (30 each). You do not need high wattage bulbs in those lamps. I just bolted that fog-lamp onto the plastic there, and wired it to the AUX harness in the headlamp housing. It is a white connector in there, two plugs. There is another WHITE one in there with a jumper already in it, not that one.
 
If your goal is to be noticed you might consider a headlight modulator. Here is one that works on the high beam, cuts off automaticly when the light is low and returns to normal headlight operation. Cost is about $100, plugs in series with the headlight wiring, plug and play.

Legal in all states and I think is is also legal in Canada, check to be sure. A side benefit, people must think I have an official function, they give me the right of way when I am in traffic and usually get out of the fast lane if I pull up behind them.
