I wanted to add more visibility and alter the bike to be more me so i went this this mod, hope this helps any of you guys who are considering it, super simple to do. I took my time as always because once a mod is done i am left with a sense of emptiness until the next one I tried taking alot of pics as i go along to ease any confusion and simplify things.
Parts:
2 Red 72 leds strip- $14 - New 2X Red 30cm 72LEDS 3528 SMD Double Lines Car LED Strip Light Bright R72 | eBay
Black RTV Silicone- $5 (O'reily's)
Loctite 100 lb outdoor mounting tape- $8 (Walmart)
Fuse Holder- $6 (Walmart)
Extra wire- $5 (i ended up not needing it)
Heat Shrink- $5 (ebay)
9v battery for testing.
1. The leds arrived with some cheap 3m tape on it, i scraped it off and put the Loctite tape on there. Tip: put the strip on one edge of the tape, that way you only have to trim one side.
2. If you look up under the fender you will see 2 dimples in the plastic, that is where we'll route our wires through. I cleaned with soap and water first, then isopropol alcohol i had around the house for cuts and scrapes.
3. installed the leds where i wanted them, take your time here, this tape is SOLID so gauge everything well before pressing in.
4. Next i heatshrink the ends of the leds where it will feed into the bike to ensure a waterproof seal.
