Redrucker had some on his drag aero and it looked pretty good. But he was running drop bars, so it kept the low and mean look going. I have been considering this my self, I just haven't seen any way of lighting that I like on an aero just yet.

I love the look but can't seem to find a small sized low watt bulb like bakaracer has on his.

I love this style, and hope to try it myself. But my scoot will not look as good as Bakaracer's!

What about using LED's? High light out put and super low watt. You can also add more resistance if you are concerned with fast blinkers or to bright of light in a cluster.

I like them on the ruckus more so. I have not seen a lighting system put on an elite body that I like so that is the main problem for me :?

There was a thread on here recently about someone trying LED's for headlights without much success. They were able to get the lights to work fine, but the light output was not enough to make riding in the dark safe.

I total agree that LED's will not work for a head light. I was think more like the signals and lighting for the gauges.

I don't see any turn signals. :wink:
Hi/low beams.....uh not from that fog light :confused:
Electric start is overrated :eyeroll:
Kill switch is not really needed (the engine dies when the key is turned off) :hi:
And to * with a horn anyway. :smile:

I like the clean handel bars. This is how my drag scooter is going to look. :thumbsup:
