Duh
My helmet must have been on too tight that day lol. Thanks Dave.
Sooooooooo....rather than two 10 watt red running lights in the rear, I can use two 3 watt Cree LED bulbs in the running lights.
(another math attempt: this could get ugly)
tail light at 1 watt + two red running lights at 3 watts each = 7 watts.
Better?
I have tons of stuff lying around from years of electronic projects. LED's and ballast resistors and switches and dials and buttons and...well, you get it.
Right now I am still working on re-positioning the rear turn signals so the new bags can fit. I moved the rectifier to the low area just rear of the air intake so the saddlebag strap would lay flat. Going to mount the turn signals on the license plate with a home brew bracket.
I did have the Sportster seat on it but it just didnt feel right...and I hated all that open space under the seat. I may try heating up the plastic seat tray and bending it more to my liking. I'd give my left nut for that beautiful seat that Corbin makes for the Savage...but at $330 it aint happenin'.
