Awesome looking Brett. This is on my to-do list.
But given I don't ride during the night all that much I am in a search of something bright for during the day
Also not sure how to keep the light confined to the round vents only to give it that look I am after

I was also waiting for Tim to get on the way with his butterflies project, but I might have a go at something just for fun. Good on ya for giving it a go.

Thanks, I ride in the dark every morning going to work. We also do a lot of bike nights as well. Several every week down here.	jbretthorton OFFLINE Platinum Max Posts: 2180 Thank you received: 1015

See we just don't have something like that culture here in Oz. People don't get together for bike nights. I have no idea why. I've been living here 17 years and we have the climate for it and daylight savings so it can be easily done.

The only time I see bike nights is when we go away for an event and we all get together for dinners and drinks, but again there is no bikes. They are back at the parking lot

Its a shame. I really like that american tradition

No problem with the PoPo with those in Florida Brett? Forward facing red lights are not legal in a lot of places. They look cool.	itgoes NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4882 Thank you received: 2337

Nice little buddy did you go with the adhesive strips and wrap the openings ?

Sometimes with my Blue lights on people make an effort to pull out of the fast lane and when i come up on cars fast
they must think i am a badge , Rode behind and passed tons of cops and no one said anything to me i do have a good
argument though all laid out for the inevitable.

BTW Brett these Bars are the shezite you would love em the way you can crank that max already.

Here in Florida all the cops use blue lights anyway right ?

Those are Cool Brett. Sinister Sexxy. I dont do az much night riding around here lately do to the deer problem/overpopulation. Other than that my only other question would be legality, and since no other bikes have scoops, I guess could be up for interpretation(unless the po-po thinks it mimicks them too much).

Definitely something i may look into though.
