NEONS

[Bishamon]

if you watch spartacus, (or even if you don't), I encourage you to frequently yell "JUPITER'S COCK!" because it will certainly turn heads.

My wife and I like to use that, though not when our daughter is around.   


There are some great quotes from that show.

As said, it can be done fairly easily and it can look good, but when it looks even slightly wrong it looks REALLY wrong.

I wouldn't mind some machined belt covers with a faint glow behind them or something under the tail hooked in with the brake/running light.

the key (as with all MC accessories) is to use it subtly, better to under do it than overdo it.

So the theme of classy and moderation keep coming up in regards to the neons...They are a touch 1993, but what about taking the time and doing a super clean install of some WELL PLACED AND HIDDEN leds? If done right, they can really make a bike look great.

A buddy of mine has an amazing 1198s..no expense spared on tuning, but when he just likes a little cruuuuuzin, he has a nicely chromed Victory with over 20 leds. Granted, more suited for this type of bike, they're well installed with no sign of wires anywhere. It looks great to even me-I hate cruisers!

Good luck with this one my friend!

Here's a thought.
One of the unique features of Ducati's is the dry clutch.
If you were to run one of the open clutch covers, you could hide LEDs under it.
The question is do LEDs respond quickly enough to make the clutch basket "freeze" or better yet appear to slowly revolve.
One of DMFs electronic guru's could put together a small switching box, picking up its timing pulse off the primary side of one of the ignition coils.
