The shelves are getting full but I keep on adding.

Recently the baton was passed to me for the manufacturing of his popular R1200GS Adventure Light Bar Kit (http://www.cyclenutz.com/products/auxiliary_lighting/r-1200gs_adventure_light_bar_kit.html)

The first round came in late last week from powdercoating and all of the existing orders have gone out as of yesterday.

This is a great light bar that allows you to easily mount a second set of lights onto your GSA.

You can either maintain the stock BMW light bar for your factory fogs or I've added the ability to use the EzyMount Factory Fog relocation kit (http://www.cyclenutz.com/products/brand_model_specific_items/bmw/bmw_r1200gs_adv/ezy-mount_gsa_factory_fog_light_relocation_kit.html) so that you can totally eliminate the factory bar, the choice is yours.

Remember, this is ONLY for the Adventure model as it bolts up to the factory enging guard.

Well v2.0 of the 1200 GSA light bar (http://www.cyclenutz.com/products/brand_model_specific_items/bmw/bmw_r1200gs_adv/r-1200gs_adventure_light_bar_kit.html)has been tested and works out great :clapping: .

The latest change was to accommodate the Baja Designs Fuego lights (http://www.cyclenutz.com/products/baja_designs.html).

You can see from the picture below that there was a problem with them hitting the guards because of their size.

People were getting around it by putting a spacer between the bar and the light base and removing the speed-adjuster. I think that being able to adjust the light vertical aim with the thumb screw is a must-have feature so I wanted to make sure that this next version maintained that.

You can see in these pic's that no more spacers are needed and the thumb screw can remain on the light with no interference from the bar.

So, if you are using this bar to mount the Fuego's just select the "Baja Designs Fuego" as the style and you'll be good to go.
