Ok I got my blue leds in and soldered some leads on and presto I am now half *** blue until I get an LED for the speedo and fuel pressure until than I like the blue led effect
I know what you think the purdge LEDS are blinding but when in riding postion the LEDS are over the helmet
1st pic daytime
2nd night lit up
3rd NOS is armed with purdge LED ready to send a blue cloud

Wow, that NOS LED is really bright! Looks good in blue!:thumbs up:
 
Lets see the cloud!! :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

OK as soon as my wiring project expierment is done
I am working on a delay solenoid pulsating system with an indsutrial orange 555 multi timer

I didnt work on the bike today I took advantage of the 73 degree sunny day and rode it

In your one photo is that a Proform shift light?
 
Damn Lankee, it is starting to look like a fighter cockpit. Talk about information overload. Is it me, or the photography but them lights are way bright to me. Add a red and a strobe and you could be pulling over hot chicks at will.:damn angry:
 
No its really not that blinding at the angle when your sitting on it.
That bright light is the Nitrous Purdge and its setup only when the Nitrous is purdging, Its not on when the Nitrous is activated. (Just activated in the pic)
The shiftlight is built to the Autometer Pro Comp tach that has been on there since 2001..

We all have our taste, I love bells and whistles,, now If I can just figure out another gauge hell maybe 2 or 3 more lets see..... Exhaust Gas Temp... Oil Temp....Brake Fluid Temp... Ahhh yeah ok Burrito Gas Stink O meter..
 
Ya need ya wunna them thar gaydar detecters in that cluster to make sure the queer scooter mafia aint follerin ya :biglaugh:
 
That whole setup looks over the top and completely cool, I like it....

Is it hard to keep it in a straight line with that giant tach hanging off the right side of the bars and catching wind?:rofl_200:

J/K bro'...I really do like it...

Thanks Rusty,
I will let ya in on a lil secret but promise not to tell anyone else here on the forum..
The tach actually fixes the high speed wobble, acts as a wind stabalizer in the gyro effect.. If you ask Jeff he will give you the formula for this equation.
 
Thanks for the intro Lankee....

With a constant force applied 100% of the time to one side (it makes no difference which side, as long as it is constant) the resulting torque will apply a stabilizing pressure along the rotary axis of the steering stem. While this force will not actually be constant at all speeds, it will actually increase exponentially with speed (on the order of x^2) this actually help the stabilizing features needed at the higher speeds. Of course a 6" tach will counteract any benefits you may receive from the gyroscopic motion of the heavy VMax wheels and cause you to high side at any speed over 88mph. (which is ironic since it is also the speed necessary to enter the time continuum portal) so to play it safe, only use the 5" tach and call it good.

Finally...an explaination I can understand...and all these years I've been using x + or - ^2.00726...son of a gun...THAT's why the damn thing kept pulling to the left!!:bang head:

**** , I EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT !...WHATS THE BIG DEAL ?...:rofl_200::biglaugh::rofl_200:
