LED Side Lights
Hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone has fitted any LED side lights like added some LED strips or some of those little BikeVis.com LEDS.
If you have i'd love to see a picture becuase im tempted but not too sure where to put them,
Cheers whitey.

Re: LED Side Lights
they are not a direct swap, you will need to wire (in parallel) some 50W ceramic resistors (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-50W-load-r ... 76f8)...as far as i know.

Yeah i know, i do electronics so i "should" hopefully be okay. I was thinking whether a strip inside the fairing near the raidiator cover would look good.

"good" is a matter of opinion...its a 90's bike...styling is purely up to you, but its a nice bike, dont make it look like some wannabe-toad-looking-need-for-speed-ricer-pile-of-crap...400whitey wrote:Yeah i know, i do electronics so i "should" hopefully be okay.

Re: LED Side Lights
i made a bracket up for some leds that went under the front fairing, on the mounting bolts. lasted about 10 mins until i had the forks compress and they smashed on the mudguard. was back in 2000/2001 when fast and furious was all the rage. but now- just dont do it.
anything is possible with enough time and money. and an open mind...

Anything to stop little Mrs Brown pulling out on me on a sunday morning....
But yeah i agree they would just look out of place, dont really know why i thought it'd be a good idea....
