Christmas Torch!

[Slick Rick]

I decided to have a little fun today, so I grabbed all my battery powered LED light strands, some electrical tape and my Torch! Set up all my materials in the carport and started thinking about the task at hand over a cup of coffee a smoke and little steven's underground garage in my ears.

As you can see I used some bubble wrap around the tank area where the battery boxes were mounted with tape. The paint on this bike is way too nice not to!

These two shots were with flash, the next two were without flash. Sorry for the "movement" but you still get a pretty good idea of what it looks like rolling at night.

Hope you enjoyed. Later & PEACE!!!! :mrgreen:

Nice one!
Nice protective measures as well!

I had a Blue Torch a while ago, and the finish on that bike was super nice. I still have the "Scythe," or I should say Rat Royale, but the matte black doesn't come off quite the same - appearance wise.

Neat lighting. I am gonna try something with my Cycle-Truck next year, some of those battery powered blnky lights.. They seem to be more common this year than last, and at the parade last night, there were a lot of bikes that used them.

Merry CHRISTmas....

After I started to put things away I found 2 more strands. So I went and got my 62 Typhoonie out and mounted lights up and down the triple trees and the huge apes. I might go and get a couple more LED strands and finish that one off as well.I found a crazy good deal on AA batteries at Big 5 sporting goods ($9.99 for 36) bought 2 packs. Still have lots of batteries left, and the strands are like $3.00 a piece so why not? :wink:

Hey thats pretty cool Rick. 8) Where are you getting the lights at? I've looked around just a little but haven't seen any yet. :wink:

I got them at CVS but I was at Walgreens the other day and they had some also, they were about a buck a strand more at Walgreens though. :wink:

Did something similar for our annual Holiday parade last weekend. Used 2 strings from Home Depot, LED strings with 16 programmable blinking modes. Used a small power inverter to use my 12V light system to power the 110AC that the strings required. Not all lights are on in the pics due to blinking.
