Dude, that is sooooo badass! great work, i cant wait to see it done. wow.
that is a great idea.

My take on flush mounts.

From about 20', I'm hoping you won't even notice when they aren't on. When they are on though, the angle they're at should be perfect for visibility. There are 22 per side, and that was the best looking design I could come up with...
I've bought resistors, and the LED's are orange in color.. I just have to mark out, drill, wire and install the fronts, and I should be able to test them out. I haven't even tried the rears yet, but I like it better than the awkward looking stock turn signals.
So what do you guys think?

Good work, you put a bit more effort in than I did

LOL..why didn't you mount them in series and cut down some serious wiring
Voltage? Travesty, are those 12V LED's? And yes, Jester, they would be more reliable this way, but I don't think that's necessary the goal, it's just a convenient by-product...randomwalk101 said:LOL..why didn't you mount them in series and cut down some serious wiring

Random: I'm an idiot. This was the best solution to wiring I could come up with.. I tried to think of if I ever had to replace a light, and this seemed easiest.. Just trase the LED and it's wires, yank it and replace with new. I suppose I should have researched it a bit more, but didn't. Hindsight, you know.
Everyone else: Finished the rear, got the wired and installed, and they are bright as EFF! Pretty cool. The one problem I have with it is, because of the tail sections angle, they point down towards the ground (not like directly down at the ground, but at probably a 75* angle). This means that the brightest portion hits the ground, about 3' behind the bike (and a small section hits the tire). Do you guys think this will be a problem? You can clearly see that the LED's are lit when they're blinking, it's just not ridiculously bright like it would be if you were staring directly into the bulbs..
Yeah Spooph, they are 12v's.
Sorry about the super flash exposure... This is just showing what the tail looks like with lights off.

This is the left blinker, no flash.

Right blinker, no flash.

This cleaned up the tail section of the bike SOOO much!! I can't believe how much better it looks. I love it.
Also, you can see the Targa license plate lights.. Peace of mind knowing that I won't be pulled over because my plate isn't lit up.
