Yeah, that thing crazy cool! You have some skills to get the wheel aligned with the crank. Bet you get some serious thumbs up when you ride it around!
Oh yeah!

Tail light:

I started off with your basic CatEye round reflector (please, mind the grubby hands).

Drilled a hole in the center of the back of the reflector body, used a little heat to separate the two halves, popped it apart, stuck an LED through the hole from the inside (got it here if you're interested: http://www.oznium.com/prewired-superflux) and super glued the halves back together:

Tada! I plan to negative-ground the tail light to the frame, and run the positive wire through the frame to the battery.

Headlight:

Bought a headlight from snarehead123 (thanks again!):

Machined a piece of aluminum round stock to hold 9 LEDs (same ones as the tail light, 8 white and 1 green), stuck the LEDs in, and stuck it in the headlight:

The headlight is negative-grounded inside the body and I plan to run the positive wire through the forks and up to the battery.
Just an update/follow up post:

Battery pack is a 12V, 3800mAh rechargeable pack stored in the handlebar bag. Negative is grounded to the frame, positive wire runs through some old cable housing I had kicking around.

EDIT: Yay sideways pictures! Thanks TapaTalk
