Thats a very cool idea!! I wonder how much it would cost to order up a couple rows of generic LED's and wire them into your tail/brake light.

Hey WW if you find a web page that shows a small LED in diameter let me know, i dont know much about LED stuff.

Is that your bike with the Yamaha stickers on the rear of the side bags ? where did you get those stickers?

Toolman,

If you don't mind me asking, what is that blue piece sitting under the headlights?

The backrest does look great!

You can get them from Premier Cycle Accessories.

btw, the Backrest looks great ! I wonder how hard it would be to add a rack so you can strap a duffle bag on for longer trips??

 

[RonBB]

I agree it looks great. I suggest caution on the speedy takeoffs with a passenger. It looks as though part of the passenger will be over/behind the rear axle making it easier to wheelie. Ride safe.

Maybe someone can arrange a group buy for these. Its looks pretty good and the price is better than the others ones I have seen. the only issue will be shipping and extra fees for it coming from canada.

 

[FJR_pig]

That does look nice.

Is it me or does that dog look Canadian?

 

[CALSI]

I'm in for purchase

 

[jcyuhn]

That's a good looking dog. I lost my 13 year old tri-color early in the year. Have been trying to enjoy the relative lack of responsbility since then. But am really wanting to find a nice sable to adopt.

OK, thread hijack over. Nice backrest.
