I'm thinking about installing some LED's like on the new Audi's. I made a mock up pic to see what it'd look like. What do you think?

I think it would look cool! The only thing I see in my opinion (downside) is the gap of lights at the top center. Otherwise great Idea. Remember, it's your bike. Do as you want to it. We all have our own opinions to what "we like", but at the end of the day, you spent the money for "your bike". So do as you want! If you end up doing it, post pics. Please as to see the final product!
 
I think it would look damn cool!!!!

I'm actually working on about the same thing for my Lightning.

Except i'm looking for just one line at the bottom of the flyscreen!

But yours looks good!!!!

make sure and post pics when done.
 
Kool and original.Kind of remind me of the robot in the video of Mr roboto.
 
it's like this bit the other way around...

finish is and show it with lights on...it will be a totally different view then just the holes ;)
 
I like it...but then again, I'm a LED junkie. Please post pics during install and after. If you dont mind, I may use your idea on my bike.
 
How do you think of mounting them with the different angles of the screen?

I guess if you mount your screen in an machine clamp, a column mounted drill with a sharp and exact fitting drill would do the job. But it will be risky to get the holes in the correct places! Especially because you would like both sides equally positioned.

It would be perfect if they could all be mounted pointing to the front. And apart from the different sizes, there are also several LED lights available with different lenses.

I think with all LED's in the same direction, and with small beams would make a great appearance when turning corners.

Keep us updated!
 
I was thinking of measuring the hole's distance with something like a micrometer, and marking their position with a punch tool. Then I'd drill the whole to the size of the LED mounting grommets. After I have them lit up, I would aim them, then hot glue them into their final position. If I decide I ever want to go back to stock, I would just buy the outer piece that is mounted around the headlights
 
That a boy, do what you want.

Hell if I had your bike it would look like this.Ha:D
That would be no fun, having two of the same bikes out and about.
