LEDs

thinking of doing something similar. what lights did you use?

Hi RedRicer. I lucky-scored on local Craigs and got 5 no-name strips for $20. Seaching Amazon to find em new came up with this offering:

Or, this looks like mfgrs site (same price):

Mine are 12" (30cm) long with one LED per cm - they're encased in a flexible silicone rubber. I used 5 strips: 1 inside each lower radiator opening, 1 over top of each muffler (worried about heat, but no problems in Tucson summer), and one in the bottom fairing joint gap pointing at the ground.

Nothing wanted to stick to the silicone rubber, so I used velcro with one side stuck to cleaned inside fairing surfaces, and the other side was twist-tie wired to the light strip.

I used some on-line wiring advice which sets all the lights up in parallel with all the black wires joined then running to neg battery terminal. Red wires all grouped then went to a 3-pole lighted switch I mounted inside right fairing, then to a fuse holder, then to pos battery terminal. For the mounts inside the side fairings, I looped some extra wire and used bullet connectors, so future mechanics/owners could do a disconnect w/o upsetting the install. Wiring sketch below.... I saw another post intending to tap electric off of a running light with an interrupt switch - this way it would go through the ignition....
