Title: L.E.D.'s on a Monster Post by: Griff5268 on February 16, 2012, 06:59:19 AM All wired to a 12v pod under the seat controlled by remote..Going to try to add some to the front wheel next, here's where I am so far..I did this to my Yamaha and loved the visibility it gave me at night..Coversation starter too. No it's not illegal. Illegal would be Blue or Red, or facing oncoming traffic. As long as they're white and not in straight view of oncoming traffic I'm cool.

Where you get the parts and what is the list of parts? Title: Re: L.E.D.'s on a Monster Post by: Griff5268 on February 16, 2012, 08:18:29 AM I got the pod hookup at cyclegear for 20 bucks. It hooks up to the battery and you hook all the leds into it. The frame has 4" Led strips in it, 3 on each side. The Air duct on the bottom has a 4"strip on each side facing down, the swing arm has a 12" strip on each. I have 2-12" strips on the under tail to light up the rear tire. Pep boys sells the 4" strips in 2 packs for about 15 bucks, the 12" about 20 bucks.. I have 1 more 4" and 2 -12" strips I've got to figure out where to put em. I need to even the light out and get some on the front, more to come..

Sure makes checking the fluid level in your brake res easy - I can see it from here Title: Re: L.E.D.'s on a Monster Post by: Griff5268 on February 16, 2012, 09:48:18 AM Ty.
I know right!? I need to fill that sucker. Anything that helps the cages see me at night is a plus!

I used to think that way as well, but now I say what the f. I like the look and it also makes you more visible. And lord knows we could all use that. Title: Re: L.E.D.'s on a Monster Post by: SupraGuy74 on February 16, 2012, 04:06:05 PM Yay another led guy! Look where I put LEDs, 2 1 foot strips under the tank and one 4 inch in the clutch cover hehehehehehehe

not a fan of neon/led underbody lights...but the white lights are cool looking. Good works fellas!! I'm keeping my Dark Monster...well Dark! [Dolph] Title: Re: L.E.D.'s on a Monster Post by: xsephirot on February 22, 2012, 07:56:11 AM I like the look that it gives off the engine. I want to go with an amber color just for visibility at night. The key is setting the LED strips so that it glows off the engine instead of directly into others or the pavement for looks.
The wheel LED thing is pretty cool looking but I don't know if it's legal. I've seen a few bicyclists with it. Title: Re: L.E.D.'s on a Monster Post by: ducati culture on February 22, 2012, 09:39:03 AM I like it...... Looks sweet
One day I was on the side of the road with a few fellow riders and it was VERY Very dark. A tractor trailer came by and everyone turned on their lights. AT that very moment I utterd the words damn I need those lights. [laugh] |
