RE: lightbar, lights and a little more PICS
If you are planing to run all those lights at the same time you should start looking at a high out put alternater or go to a alt shop and have them put more windings on you'r old one thatmore than2 High AMP drawing Off road typelight will drain you Battery fast you'r drawing more AMP'S than the system can put out just think a millon candle watts of power each thats a lot of AMP's been use up.
2 lights will drain the system but the stock alt should work ok just make sure you have a good Battery and some jummper cable handy just in case.
But the light bar looks cool they sale the black spiral rapping at the Auto store that covers the new wires up gives it some more protection plus it makes the wiring look more stock.
One more thing if you smash the threads on the light and the mounting hardware it makes it lot harder for some thife to come a long and just unscrew them and steal you nice Light bar or just lights If you can put a small bead of weld on the threads thats even better.
The only draw back is If you want to take them back off for some reason they can make life ruff on you also to remove them.
I dont know about you I like keeping whats mine I worked to hard for what I have for some SOB to steal my stuff.
I use to do my fair share of off road driving years ago been there done that.
Oh yea I notice you ride YZ's what do you ride I a Honda CR250 man my self.

Those KTM's are sick there the BMW's of dirtbiking, wavy rotors, electric start, black Excels, Renthal bars etc... I wish i had one of those. I dont mind kick starts, Im only 18 im not an old fart yet. My bike has got a decompression lever i got to hold it in pump it 5 times, then release and pump until i feel resistance, then pull in the decomp lever drop it 2 inches, then bring it back to the top, and then finally kick it over. Good thing it starts second kick haha they didnt have autodecompression 10 years ago
