These are the ones that I installed. They are top mounted and shine down.

@theredrocket There is one LED strip light around the very front, inside the air-intake and there are some flush mount “DRL” lights installed and silicone sealed about 3″ back from that. I didn’t take a picture of it before the front fairing went back on. That is done on both sides.

@kennmcook are those leds inside the air intakes?

Sweet! Looks great.

Retrotacular… subtle differences, of course. However… I cannot get the Kawasaki Z1/KZ900/KZ1000 from the 70’s out of my head, when I look at this bike. lol.

@74demon : I Rotated it about every half hour for about 3-4 hours. It was already getting tacky and seemed to have a thick coat on the sides, before I went to bed. At that point I set it in a cup to hold it upright and it does have a little more settled at the bottom, but I think it turned out well. The 2 part epoxy that I have is a 1:1 and…[Read more]

I was showing the light to Mike (bike-shop-guy), because I was talking about making a custom “Bat-logo” brake light to mount into the rear fender for a personal mod that he has going. It’s a batman themed bike, his son is into Batman. When he starts that project, I’ll post any custom work that I do for him.

It’s been an idea that has been brewing up in the head for a couple years. I finally made some effort into getting it out of my head and into the real world to compare. lol. I actually just wanted to test an idea and see how it preformed in the real world.

The problem that I saw with most LED lights, is that they are all basically a huge…[Read more]

Thanks, I’m hoping the next version works out much better. I have a friend that is going to draw up the 3D model and another friend that has a 3D printer. I think I have a slightly better design, that I’m working on. Sadly, I’m not using this for my bike since it has a custom mod and 4″ lights on it. But, it has been fun to test an idea.

Couple notes, feel free to tell me to keep my 2 cents:
* I would be cautious with the LED strip. Primary being how visible is it in daytime riding? I don’t have any info on intensity or viewing angle of the LEDs, etc. But real world test, would you make your lights less visible in daylight than the stock lights?

* Make sure that you correct…[Read more]

@74demon The connections did look very clean. Although, now that you made me think about it; that battery is not a perfect fit, so the battery tender cables kind of have to bend to fit so maybe that’s causing a slightly bad connection at times. But that wouldn’t make too much sense since it was working fine for almost 2 years without being touched…[Read more]

Sounds like the battery. Although… Start of this season, I was having to pop-the-clutch all the time. I was on the verge of buying a new battery when I had my own palm-to-forehead moment…. the 2 pin quick plug for the charge tender had a blown fuse in-line to the battery. So, it drained all winter and had to take a deep-charge. I plan on…[Read more]

It’s always great to see older bikes that have been taken care of.
