Bansh88 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 Thanks. Actaully, I got the idea from my pal "Polish". He's on here somewhere. I like my bike stripped down. Less is More! These things are small and hidden but bright Quote
Justintoxicated Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 RAD Lights are a big joke You guys should see mine...soryy no pics server is down. made it myself out of 2 LED's that are so bright they hurt your eyes. Difficulty = Very Difficult Cost = Expensive. Quote

Justintoxicated Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 Had to Buy Circuit board create a current regulation circuit and also to DC power (1/2 rectified) Thermal epoxy Heatsinks, seal up optics, make brackets to mount everything, seal up the circuit box as best as I could. Course I'm also using the same circuit for underlighting my ATV with 2 LED's which required more LED"s and more brackets and Heatsinks. Quote

They could use a guy like you! Quote

I'm thinking the LED"s he uses are the same LED's used on runways and aircraft. I found a site that sells those, and its quite involved, but the result is amazing. Quote
Bansh88 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 I just bought 2 new radlites for my NEW BANSHEE. Just hook in and mount up. No idea what dude is talkin about. Quote

I took 1 semester of electronics in high school (on my second semester now) and I can understand him perfectly. Did you have to etch your own board too? Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 go to radio shack open up the little drawers full of all the LED's, circuits, switches and even little parts you can somehow make them flash.. I had takin apart one of those cheap laser light pens (see then at every QikiMart). They consisted of a battery, a button, alittle circuit snd the bulb. No schooling needed just tear some shit up til you figure it out!! Quote
RATBIKE0130 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Ha Justin and his halfwave form DC regulator circuits... just wait until he get his battery setup going and runs like 20 of those things off it. He'll be freakin Rudolph leading the pack and blinding everyone on his merry way through the dunes. Quote

I had some ideas, but I'm still very buisy still.... being buisy sucks... I like the grab bar but might miss carrying my cooler I did not etch my own circuit, I don't have that much time lol...And the pats I used were larger, so it was not really necessary.

When I started my project bike in februrary of this year I planned on riding it this summer. Shit...now I have 2 bikes torn apart and nothing to ride. The only reason the other one is tore up, was to measure a few things. Haven't had time to put it back together. One guy came into my shop and asked me if they ever run, or if I just work on them all the time.... Quote
racerzippy Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 Went to Six States trucking supply store and bought 2 - six light led strips. the things are friggin bright and I only paid 8 bucks for the both! They even already had the mounting tabs on them and bolted right onto the stock mount. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 I'd post pics but my linux box crashed...so I need to save my website and re-format it (pain in the ....) The bike in my avitar is light by 4 LED's 2 Red and 2 blue. Quote
Wallrat Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 Justin angled his red taillights down so as not to blind the guy behind him. Even still, from 80 feet back when he drops over a dune your eyes get blasted by piercing red lasers. Shit is kinda brutal actually. Justin you and that damn Devil Smurf bike of your's suck. Oh yeah and for all the people talking about radio shack/autozone light strips...that's like comparing a Miata to a 350Z. But have fun with that Miata! Quote
