Led positioning

[Arr MiHardies]

Hey, I'm looking at possibly installing some LEDs and wondering if it is possible, or safe in these places. Now, I'm not sure of what these areas are called, so ill have to describe it. Basically I want to illuminate the area behind the honeycomb grill where you fill up the oil. And the same spot on the other side of the bike where I think the radiator is. Are these safe spots for LEDs? Or would the heat be too much to put them there safely?

Gets a little hot on the right side but should be OK. Will look awesome :thumbup:

Now if I could only find a honeycomb grill that looks just like the one on the left that is thicker than a thin sheet of metal like the koolmetal one. More substantial like the one on the left.

My 2010 RT had LEDs in that area for a year and a half with no trouble.

I have them in those as well as any other place I could put them, with no issues. Just make sure you use disconnects to make removing the panels easier. I have Deans Micro connectors, like the ones used for rc planes and cars on mine. Solder and heat shrink tubing is your friend.http://www.google.com/products/cata...a=X&ei=OxrYTujgNMWcgQfRvtHwDg&ved=0CFIQ8gIwBQ

Go to eBay And search 12v led lites find a company called. Closer to wholesale they have a Ton of small led sealed litsgood prices I put small truck. Marker lites behind the side grilles. On our rs so I would have side turn signal and running
Marker lites just used black. Zip ties big increase in visibility for the front and rear sused thin markers and put them on the base of the front shocks and replaced the rear fender Reflector with an oval led now front rear or side the blinkers are very noticeable As for Screen I use expanded alum mesh from an old sat dish it's weighs nothing and is soft and you can form it it is already painted so you can paint it any. Color it looks just like the plastic mesh on the spyder and you don't have to worry about heat
