#483721 Ricohoc (User) I am a man of peace, but I adore a riot! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3518 Re:LED accent lighting 1 Year ago   My Lizard Lights arrived today from the US. I will probably install them over the weekend. Once installed, I'll upload a video. I may also indicate where on the bike that I placed them, since I haven't been able to find a good specific source online for that information.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #483726 BYF (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 133 Re:LED accent lighting 1 Year ago   When I was at Laconia last year I was going to have the Chameleon lights put on my bike. While talking to the installer I explained that I wanted to light my engine only and he said the motor is too big to get a good effect. He said I would not be happy with the results and sent me on my way. Does anyone have pics of their lighting? I have an '01 with fuel pump and stock breather. Thanks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #483727 Tigers67 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 208 Re:LED accent lighting 1 Year ago   My led's are on the engine only,3 led's per pod,10 pod kit.The kit also contains right angle brakets to change direction of the light.The position is upto individual were you think they look best,i have 2 under the tank on the frame angled down on the front pot.1 facing forward off the frame towards the front pot.1 on the back of the hypercharger facing the down tubes.2 on the frame just under the seat facing the rear pot.1 under the side cover angled @ the trans case.1 under the other side case angled @ the front belt pully case.1 under frame pointed @ rear pot & 1 under fuel pump angled stright down.Hope this helps   Logged     Eat\'em Alive Tigers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #483869 GreenMachine (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 479 Re:LED accent lighting 1 Year ago   BlackRain wrote: Lets see some pictures....

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3518 Re:LED accent lighting 1 Year ago   Began the installation of the Kuryakyn Super Lizard Lights today. Gotta say that I'm not thrilled so far with the Maximus kit, but I haven't tested them in the dark yet. They do what they say they will do: rotate through the seven colors, strobe fast or slow with a control for speed, maintain one color, and fade from color to color. A couple of the wire connectors had loose wires that created shorts, but I was able to repair them both. Placing the switch took awhile. Finding a good location on the left side was the holdup. Finally found a great spot front left just under the lip of the seat. From there I strung 4 lights on either side. 2 each under the tank, 2 each side on the front/bottom of the frame near the horn and starter facing the engine, and two each side on the steering column facing the engine. Putting them in a temporary spot isn't the easiest thing because the paper stip on the back of the adhesive strip of each group of lights won't allow anything to adhere to it. Ended up using duct tape on the wires to hold them in place temorarily to get the look. I may end up supplementing it with another brand's 12" or 18" strip on each side on the bottom of the frame and facing down on the street. There just doesn't seem to be enough light with 8 LED strips that are 6" long each. After it gets dark in the next hour or so, I'll let you know if my perception has changed.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #484802 Ricohoc (User) I am a man of peace, but I adore a riot! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3518 Re:LED accent lighting 1 Year ago   Well, when dusk arrived, I began to reposition. After looking at the bike in almost darkness, I came to the conclusion that the 8 strings of lights would all have to be focused on the engine in order to get the maximum effect. On the right side, there is one over the right side panel facing inward toward the rear jug. The next one is over the air cleaner. The next one is centered on the frame in the front of the bike and facing inward toward the front jug. The last one on the right is on the frame even with the starter and facing inward. On the left side, there is one over the rear jug, one over the front jug, one on the upper portion of the frame facing inward and one even with the horn facing inward. Overall, after repositioning and seeing it in darkness, I give it a B to B+. With a 12" or 18" string on the undercarriage facing downward to the street, it would probably creep up to an A- or A. I'm still not thrilled, but I feel better about them than before.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
