I took the seat off last night and poked around a bit. Lo and behold, there was already an unused connector wired in with switched (+) and ground just lying there under the seat. (The previous owner had a hands-free communication system hooked up to the bike...I assume that was probably the connector for that gizmo). I smashed two spade crimp connectors that would slide securely down the sides of this jack, and voila...easy switched power.
I mounted an LED string to the frame between the tank and seat on both sides (black cable ties worked well for this), and under the chrome side frames on each side of the back (cable ties right now, but nothing good to connect them too, so I need to get some good double-sided tape or something).
The blue LED's illuminate the engine and exhaust/chain guard and reflect nicely off the chrome, plus they illuminate some of the ground underneath the bike.
I dunno, maybe this is a little juvenile for a 45 year old
but I think it looks pretty darned cool.
Rational justification: Anything that makes you easier to see has got to be a good thing...right? ("Whatever Dave.")
I'll try to post some pics later today.
Cheers!
Dave
