Introducing Loki's new baby!

[Loki]

Modded my license plat bracket today. Cut the sides that mount up to the turnsignals off, turned it around, and stomped on it to bend it. Looks better but i do expect to be pulled over a few times for it. Ah well, you can still read it!

Also to the person who wanted me to do the airbox how to: i have the pictures and that will come soon.

In the meantime of making my LED turn sig/tail light. I modded my turn sigs into the spare break light i had. Turned out great! Nice and bright still and looks cool. I couldnt get a picture of the turn signals brightness due to the rate it blinks at (LED up front) but its just as bright as the stock ones... cause they are, but they seem brighter behind the red.

Love the clean look. Will get more pictures of the whole bike soon. Deal with theses for now. I also got a new rear tire on!

Nice looknig bike [up] Where are you going to get the LEds for your light? I am going to make a LED rear for mine as well.

I have to turn left into my place and always feel a little uneasy sitting in the middle of the road waiting to turn. Expecting to get ran over someday. No turning lane either. So I want my rear brake light BRIGHT! One reason why I am not doing the integrated signals. More room for red LEDs. I like the look of integrated signals though.

Looks good Loki. [up]

What part of Missouri are you in?

 

[Loki]

My rear isnt LED yet its just the stock turn signals modded into the tail light. But the LEDs i am using are standard 5mm 3.2v white LEDs. Its proving to be a slight challenge but if you dont want to make one you can always buy super bright ones from www.xblights.com


STL im actually around STL also. I believe ive told you this before? Lol we should ride sometime.

Hey Loki nice bike man.

I'm just going to yell un-requested suggestions for upgrades at you now as though it were my right to dictate.

1) A black primary cover would add higher levels of evil.

2) Them passenger pegs are ******* with the visual line of your tail section.

3) maybe some different mirrors because the rest of your bike is so slick looking now.

seriously man it looks great and I like the headlight treatment a lot.

Is that your dad in the picture of the tail lights or have you grown a MAN belly in short order?

Cheers

Levi

Loki, On the LEDs I would not use white LEDs. The best ones behind a red lense are RED leds. Honestly. I have been researching this for my truck. The White leds are a mix of all the colors. A red lense filters all but the red spectrum of light. So ALL of the white LED light will be filter except the red spectrum. With red LEDs behind a red lense, almost all of the red light passes through the lense. Goto hidplanet.com and check the LEd forum. Lots of good info there. Honestly for a more OEM look, well on cars, use a red-orange LED. When I do mine I am going to have it flash 3 times real quick like a strobe to get attention.

 

[Loki]

The led tail light im making is just basic and something to do. Im majoring in electronic engineering so just thought it would be a fun project. Nothing major.

I have sliders, sorry

Ive stated that I am going to buy new mirrors soon as i can.

I plan to black out the engine this winter (with other things)

Yes that is my dad, im 6'3" 149lbs.

STL that sounds great.

Andrew ive posted pics of it everywhere. Ive had it since march this year but i didnt want to post a new thread just to show off a few new photos.

Thanks guys!
