Thanks Kingfish! It's thanks to you that I'm even in the BB07. All of the brilliant ideas that I've seen from our counterparts (and yourself) drives me to think out of the box....and get more and more creative with my ideas.

That is a cool idea for a tank. Hey, you could put a hamster in there :mrgreen:

Or an LED green lightstrip inside the tank at the top along the top bar. That would be a killer tank glow!
 
Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

I actually have it wired together with copper solid core.

Hey kingfish...are you in the Waco area?

Here's a shot that my beautiful wife, Emily took of me while I was shooting the other night.

Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

Cool shot.
I am in Savannah, GA.
 
Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

Ahhh..I thought maybe the 254 in your handle signified area code...I grew up just outside the Waco area in rural Bosque County, Texas.
 
Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

Gahhhh, I'm having a little trouble with my LED power. It's just a 12v waterproof LED strip, but when I plug in my battery (9v, just like the vendor told me to use), it's getting super hot...

Thoughts...?

Suggestions...?


HELLLLLLLP?
 
Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

Wish I could help man, but you know what they say ... if you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem. Bike looks AWESOME !!!
 
Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

I forgot to mention...it's the BATTERY getting hot, not the light strip...

Thanks CC!
 
Re: #TWENTY2, headlight is DONE...now it's time to get TANKED!!

Well boys and girls...she's FINISHED. Here's a couple of sneak peak shots of the finished tank and tail lights in action. I'll post pics in the finished build thread tomorrow from the photo shoot. Thanks for all the kind words, support, and friendly competition throughout this whole fun experience!

Re: #TWENTY2, put a fork in her, she's DONE!

Well, I wish I could have gotten this in my build off finished thread, but I was having a heckuva time getting the video to upload...so here it is. My daughter put wayyyyyy too much work into this for it not to be seen!

Enjoy!
