Here's the led boards. 24 four of them. Still have to "pot" the backs and then on to thermo forming the lenses out of clear polycarbonate.

Wow!! That looks fabulous!! I can't wait to see when it's finished.

 

[Ten-6]

Nice! I think you're going to have a hot product on your hands. Since the rear vents will be blocked are you going to cut vent holes in the under pan?

Ten,

You think that's necessary? I dont' think those vents we're serving any real purpose other than looks....

 

[Ten-6]

I don't know, that's what I was asking. The vents do evacuate heat build up that's produced from the exhaust. Not to mention you now have air pressure coming in from the front with no where to go. At 150mph his tail could explode!!!

 

[1st Duc]

that looks great, you sure are a tinkerer.

 

[SamiKai]

That does loog good. I am going for the same thing just mounting inside the vent.

Mind if I ask what size led you used (voltage and intensity)? I can only find 2.1v/1900cmd locally. Yours does appear to be way brighter than mine. If I want brighter I think I will have to order them.

 

[yellow duc]

Very sleek

Wonderful job! Any idea on the cost, an how many are you now going to have to make to keep with the production from ducati. Just kidding. L8ter

 

[Rosco]

Nice mate!

I’ve always preferred more separation of the turn signals like that. The integrated brake/turn style is neat but I often wonder it they make intentions seem a little ambiguous.

If you worry about venting the tail would it be possible to cut a vent in the rear underside of the tail assemby in the black plastic?

Great job so far.

Cheers

Very nice, great idea. Keep the pics coming!

 

[1098BANDIT]

that some awesome turn signals!!!

 

[enrico]

I think if you put them behind the mash screen and with a red lens (or yellow) it will look awesome and hidden from the eliments....check mine when off...same idea, design and pcb/ LED work.

My 2c... to each his own!


PS: Zoom in to see it clearly

Samikai,

They're 2.1v, 1300 minicandella (whatever that is). Are yours red? The yellows are brighter. Got them from www.digikey.com, part # 67-1123-ND.

Enrico,

Looks very nice and no lense hassle. I just wanted them outside a little bit.

 

[SamiKai]

Thanks cloudrider. That's about the same as mine. I think the issue is I used less led than you. 12 as opposed to your 24. I think I'll add more.

Great job again. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[saint619]

what did you use as a backing to hold the LED's together?

 

[lee]

Saint,

I believe it's known as "computer board". Fiber plastic squares with a whole lot of evenly spaced little holes in it. Radio Shack has it. You put the leds in the holes, solder six at a time in series, and then parallel wire the groups of six. I also painted the board to match the red/white lines on the fairing. All very easy and simple. But time consuming.

 

[HORNETDRIVER]

Looks good!

Nice job thus far!

I'd like to see the whole package together. Can you post a few snaps when it's all buttoned up again?

Congrats. You may have just cracked the code on the signals.

Cloud rider are you planning on cutting out the white section of the tail like Enrico's? Also how are you planning on venting out the excess air? looks like teh computer board has small holes but i am not sure if it will be enough.
Looks great btw keep up the good work.

 

[silentbob]

Looks good. You can also go with 2 or 3 luxeon LEDs to make it brighter and less time consuming to manufacture.

Don't worry about the vents, they are cosmetic. There is no need to vent the air coming in the front.

Cool. Im not sure how to solder them in series do you mean you take six of the lights and connect thier wires together then connect those wires with another group of 6? And what are the difference in LED lights? is thier brighter ones also how did you get the computer board to fit perfect in there? what did u use to get the exact measurements for the hole?
