Bike lighting... thoughts?

Bike lighting... thoughts? Wanted to see what you guys think, I got bored and had some extra lighting laying around and figured some casual accents wouldnt look too shabby. Thoughts? http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/6002/rightside1tp.jpg (http://imageshack.us) http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/3013/leftside7ez.jpg (http://imageshack.us) sorry for the bad pics.

I like the brake resevior. Looks sick I think! :thumbup:

That's cool. and yeh the brake reservoir's cool too. Can you do that to your WindScreen and Helmet Shield?

If you're interested in a wind screen that will light up I can do that for you. Send me a screen and $25 (seriously) and I'll set you up something with a remote switch. You have a blue bike...I already have blue lighting material handy so I could get it done fast, too.

I am curious because I am curious if I could move it over to the tinted screen when i get it. etc. how long does it last? LED? is it spotty glowing? sounds cool!

I can do it one of two ways: The most obtrusive is with electroluminescent material. the material would be adhered to the inside of the screen. Problems would be it would be really bright and this stuff is either on or off and it can be pretty bright. Adding a dimmer would be bulky, but possible. This is also more expensive. The way I prefer to do it is to matte the windscreen...that is to essentially "smoke" it...and use LED's. I usually suggest having the majoraty of the inner surface of the screen painted but it's not manditory. I don't have pics of either one...it's been a while since I've built one. After I get home I can stick up a shot of my PS2, it's done the same way.

that sounds pretty cool! I will definitly think about it. originally the way I was thinking about doing it was silver paint on the edge of the windscreen and then LED projection from the bottom, that way it would "Stop""glow" on the silver. but I dont think it would be as bright as your strip.
