Just couple images and video to come of custom fit taillight using all but Perspex cut to fit the tail and then super bright LED strips, RED and Orange. And some long handy soldering skillz
Looks like you have a double Perspex layer? Sandblast the inside of the bottom piece. This will hide the LEDs but still let plenty of light through. You could even sand it a bit just to test.
As far as waterproofing, just silicone everything! Watch out for heat though, especially from the resistors.
Funny to see how many riders from RSA are on .Net...
Must start organizing weekend rides!
Couldn't get an IT (in RSA) to fill the stock gap and also thought that it would not be as visible as the stock tail light assembly. So I got the IT from the ’07 1KRR and took a dremmel to the tail fairing. Like the way it turned out! Doing the same to my Track/Street 600.
Yea i was going buy one of the older model taillights and do what you did. But thought rather not mess too much with the fairings.
So decided Perspex. I originally wanted the perspex you see covering fluorescent lights but Durban Plastics have closed down, and wasnt going to mission to Maizeys.
Tomorrow i will, if the weather clears up go for a ride to see what the heat does to the perspex. Then do some sealing and fine tuning.
I grew up in Durban, I was there in 2011 again was qualified as armed response but never worked it, want to come back to SA again someday and do it, might be in pinetown next year (sadly will be driving a car though no bike...but maybe I can test ride...a few...
looks seriously good. that carbon fiber should keep some heat away from it. i would take that silencer out of there mine sounds way more mean without it.

Haha ye forgot about it, took it out last night though
sounds like a superbike now, super stoked. I definitely think the carbon will help elevate the heat from the perspex.

I'm up in Jhb!
Post some pics of the final project! Can't stream YouTube from work...
Weather here wasn't too bad over the weekend. Took my Blade out for a run and installed a projector on my 600 track bike. Just need to finish up te wiring.

Hope next week is good, having to photoshoot golf up in Umhali, will be a kiff ride up.
Now i need to save money again to go get to a track day.
That is super bright! I like it when people go out of the way and do the DIY job; it gives me ideas. Keep'em comin! I know you have more ideas in the little brain of yours. post them up so I have can something to build over here!

I like this project, haven't seen anyone do this before.
For what its worth "plexiglass" is just a trade name for acrylic plastic. Not all acrylic is created equal, its one of the plastic materials that responds well to impact modifiers which is why some acrylic cracks and "spiders" easily and others seem unbreakable.
