Have you given any thought of a bright led turn signal board to fit in the stock housing? That might satisfy some local objections to the intigrated signals.
This idea has crossed my mind. Reasons being why I didn't move forward was reliability. Meaning I would have had to ship my PCA unprotected. Not something I'm keen about. There would be no guarantee how the field work would be performed. It would have been more of a headache for me. Even with the best of installation instructions there would be screw-ups/damaged boards/returns and not to mention the endless questions I would be bombarded with weekly.
However, one idea that have always crossed my mind was plugging the end holes of the classic Monster with 2 of the brightest LEDs on the market. Last year I designed a compact LED driver for friend of mine in Calgary. He makes some really cool barends turn signals/LED. I'll try to find a pic and update this post later.
Anyway. I have these dime size LED drivers that i've always wanted to integrated on the rear of the Classic Monsters. I know some of you have done this mod on here before using multiple less powerful standard narrow dispersion LEDs. But I was thinking of using just one large/powerful/wide angle LED in-cased inside some nice billet machined AL. The extra metal will act as a heat sink and given it is used on a 50% duty cycle. So no chance of it over heating. Proper voltage step down regulator(so no need for big ass external resistors). All in a nice little package. The intensity would be that of the SupaNovaHSi if not brighter!
When you activate your turn signals with these bad boyz... The cage behind you will know what your intentions are
Check it out. Did some rendering of it last month. I have the design done. The problem was cost for the metal bits. So project came to a stop.
Small compact LED board with step down switching current source. (I have an updated version of these that is more powerful)
