Just finished up with my spring mods.

#1 dynojet kit and K&N lunch box.  :thumb:
      Has improved my bike 100% Loving the mid range now.

#2 rear led tail and T/S.   :thumb: :thumb:
Just sitting still:

Running

Blinking...use your imagination, you can do it!

#3 front flush mounts.


All in all it took me a little over 4 hours total. I of course had to spread that out across two days...I really needed that beer break. :cheers:

NICE!

Does the LED swap require all the re-wiring described in other threads here?

I ask because I am new to this forum (and to my 500f and to bikes in general).

It was really easy. The new light just plugged right into the old bulb socket.
The T/S had to be spliced into their respective hot lead. I was very happy with how easy it was. O0 :thumb:

Ok.. My take on the integrated lights is.... WHY !!! People cant see bikes to begin with .. lets make our selves less visable ???

Now, I like the look.. very cool!! no doubt

But I think I would rather have people see my big ugly blinkers than hit me, and see how cool my bike was before the accident :dunno_white:

Looks good! I also like the rack. Where did you get that? I'd buy one if I could find one reasonable.

The other stuff looks awesome too. Very sporty and sleek. Good job.  :thumb:

Lights are really bright, the T/S goes from red to yellow when blinking. I will get some Night photo for you. I could not take a photo of just the brake light, I'll work on that too. :thumb:

Looks sweet,  And everybody should always worry about getting hit, I got rear ended at a stop light about a year ago!  Thankfully I was in the work truck (a stop sign red full size Dodge Ram )  The dumb ass said he did not see me, so some times I dont think its going to matter what your on or in...     Me two cents   :cheers:
Being naked was great, but now that I'm older I thought I should cover up!!!!

Damn it nick and annguyen, she said she got it from Davipu  :flipoff: :laugh:

Being a welder, it is probably something he made.

The rack in question is a custom from Davipu. :icon_razz:

The other rack is the result of genes and weight lifting at a too young age. :flipoff:

Yes...  I got that from her first post referring to Dave...

I was just trying to make another joke... I guess I shouldn't become a standup comedian, huh?

Of course you should be a comedian. You should go on stage. The next one leaves in 5 minutes. *rimshot*

Haha j/k.  :laugh:
