im talking about where your legs are. although i was intending on put some on the front under the headlight also, and i think that may be the intake that was previously mentioned. sorry if i wasnt clear

 

any other inputs?

 

Yes the Intakes I was referring to are at the front, and the "Radiator vents" facing backwards are called..... well, i'm not sure. outflow Vents? either way, I can't remember if it gets hot in the vents or not, I don't think it does, but I will check next ride.

 

LEDs are pretty hearty - they hold up pretty well and should survive indirect heat.

 

It would take some pretty serious heat to melt the LEDs or neon tubing. I have used both on my cars and motorcycles. When running the wiring make sure to choose the location carefully. Like posted above, indirect heat won't affect it but direct heat will.

Keep in mind to tell any service techs that you have those lights on your motorcycle if you get work done. If you don't they will destroy the wiring when removing fairings and usually tell you tough luck since you didn't let them know.

 

Are you talking about putting the front blinkers where they are on this one?

 

It's a really old thread guys... can't say I've never done this myself.

 

ive done it. leds can stand very high heat no problems at all.

 

leds? really?

 

I know this is an older thread but I put LED strips that I bought at Walmart in the same area and by my exhaust on my 08 VFR and never had any problems with them melting or falling off

 

Do you have any idea how those lights were put in the "ports" and what happened to the original turnsignal ports?

I'm hoping to do the gixxer integrated mirror conversion but I'm at loose ends as to what to do with the holes that the OEM signals go through.

I've considered putting in some kind of flush-mounts and wiring them to be running lights only (using LEDs, just to keep the strain on the electrical system down.)

Unfortunately I haven't ever seen a teardrop-type front turnsignal that didn't make me think "geez, how butt-ugly do they want me to make my bike?" and all of the flush signals I've seen look like somebody just slapped a piece of amber plastic over the port and walked away.

I don't have the means to replace the stock bodywork or have someone do bodywork modifications along with a new paint job.

Ideas, anyone?

 

That bike has aftermarket fairings, custom made with the upper and lower as integrated panels, as well as not having the stock holes cut... So not very similar to your situation at all...

My suggestion, Peugeot 306's have blinkers/position lights that fit the hole very well... Stock parts are incandescents, but there are LED aftermarket parts available...

Duhhhh.... single sided swingarm should have screamed "majorly modded."
Thanks Tweety

 

Nope.Led voltage is very low.How can they melt?

 

I think he was talking about radiant heat from the motor or radiators when he first asked this way back in 2007.
