    DIDE! Looks great and I am going to flat steal the light ring around the side bags. I need to remove my right bag and that will be a great time to add the lights..

    Really nice work..

    No! No stealing my ideas is allowed!
    Thou I guess if I wanted my bike to remain completely unique, I shouldn't have shared it with everyone eh?
    Maybe I can convince Reggy not to make anyone any saddle bag rings...

    They'll be purple. Hope that counts as different.

    Well. I guess that since I did steal Phil's idea to light the upper wind deflector (and took it a step further and illuminated both the upper and lower ones) that I shall allow Phil to steal my idea.

    Seriously though. It's cool that others want to use my ideas. I was just hoping to remain unique longer. The saddlebag lights use the same light strips as used on the project nite, and are mounted on the inside of the lid itself. I ordered a 38" strip, but ended up cutting 1" off the end.

    Just installed my adoptive running lights. I can't believe how bright these things are. These things could replace my headlights easily, even with the dimmer at only half power.

    My bike was a head turner before, but now with all these new lights, seems everyone is looking at me lately.

    That is the halo kit from TricLed. Lights are on the skid plate and down the length of the main body frame. A few pics further on the last half of that kit is installed that is illuminating the rear wheel.

    I thought that might be the case. I'm concerned about the Tech damaging them, even though you tell them they are there.. Chances you take when you get what you want...Nice job,,,looks great

    I absolutely get being different. I think that is part of what drives the things I do, as WELL as 'needed mods' like the Bluetooth and rearview camera and DRLs. Looking forward to seeing your DRLs my friend

    DRLs? If you mean adaptive running lights, I put them on last night. Redoing them tonight with threadlock and even tightening. Still get a tad bit of movement though. Not much but more than I'd like.

    Really want to change out the bulbs on my main driving lights to match the color of the rest of the lights.

    DRL was much easier to type on my iPhone than adaptive running lights

    I was asked for more pic and info about both my deflector lights and my saddle bag lights. So here they are.

    This first pic shows the inside of the headlight surround Tupperware. I'm pointing at the light strip that illuminates the upper left deflector.



    Here is a close up of the deflector illuminated



    The lower deflector has the light strip inside the cavity and a quick disconnect adapter from TricLED. Which fits nicely between the headlight surround and the main body, hidden behind the mirror.



    And the lower deflector illuminated
    A small part of the wire is exposed outside the bike, but is mostly hidden once the mirror gets put on. You can see the cavity I hide the adapter in in the upper part of the image




    The saddlebag lights are run along the edge of the saddlebag lid.



    The wire runs in the seam between the Tupperware and the black plastic on the underside of the bag. I secured the wire In place with black silicone glue. The wire then runs inside the mudflap, and connects into the brake running lights.




    Took these pics while doing an hid install.
    Before


    And after

    Parades? Nothing really. I can't stand that auto tuned music they put in most of their movies and musicals though.

    As far as future lighting. I have one or two small ideas, but I think I'm pretty much done with lighting mods.

    As hinted in another thread (and above).... Different plans for my fenders....
    Red is wired to both running and brakes, so they get brighter when braking. Yellow is, of course, turn signals.
    Red runs in the seam between the mudflap and the fender, under the reflector. Yellow runs only over the reflector.
    As always, these awesome lights are from Reggy at TricLED.

    I'm sure I've posted this before, but not in this thread. Here are my new fender lights in action.




    I have also added the BumpSkid, Block off plate, NBV brackets and some Kuryakyn pegs to my list of mods.

    Latest mods. Spyder Webs. I thought the lids of the saddle bags and trunk would be a great place for "stuff"
