Where in az are ya? I have family out there.

I'm down in Yuma. Its crazy that its this windy and cold here (37deg this morning). Hell has almost frozen over today.
@arcspeedworks: I cant thank you enough. These are exactly what I was looking for. I cant wait to get them on the bike. Crazy how fast they got here. Showed up before the tracking link even registered it in the system.

Re: Project Cheap Racer (ver.2)

No snow down here in Yuma, AZ but the wind was blowin real hard and its unusually cold here. Dipped below freezing for the first time in like forever around here. I really feel for you guys stuck in the snow.

Re: Project Cheap Racer (ver.2)

can you explain how you wired your turn signals? I love them.

 

[kookie31]

Re: Project Cheap Racer (ver.2)

im not sure what your asking. if its the front turn signal (amber lights) I have those wired to the original wires but they dont flash (leds dont work with stock flasher relay). i dont have rear turn signals (yet) those are my tail/ brake light

Re: Project Cheap Racer (ver.2)

Cool, I like the way you did the Tail/Stop lights, I would do the same along the bottom stripes with a clear lense amber LED strip for signals. You need to wire a LED flasher unit anyway.

Somehting like this, just used orange to show, but a clear lense would disappear until you hit the switch.

Re: Project Cheap Racer (ver.2)

Just checked in on this build after missing it for a while and WOW! You have made some big steps! I just wanted to say your design in your paint is refreshinly different and the lines flow really well! I think you should build that side cover to cover that small tab at the bottom of the tank and make that paint line flow through clean! Nice work!

 

[kookie31]

Re: Project Cheap Racer (ver.2)

thx guys for the input. maritime, that's exactly what i had in mind for the rear turn signals and twisted, i have plans for the tabs at the bottom of the tank. i'm looking at getting rid of the altogether if possible (it would look so much better without them)
