and thats it!!! sorry bout the red letters i didnt realize it was so hard to see!!

Thats a damn good write up, lights look nice.

If i would of known that i would of done it this weekend when i had the front off for signal madness..looks great tho..ill be saving this post for future reference.

Very nice write up. Those look great.

I thought about doing this, but the RR pegs are different. It would be a little harder to do it. Thanks for giving me the incentive.

Looks great. Very good write up. Thanks for the time and effort.

I'm gonna find me some F3 pegs so I can do this. Stupid question, but, i've got the clear alternatives LED taillight with the integrated. I havn't wired up the integrater yet, if I do, would adding 3 more LED's to the pegs effect it? I like as much light from the back as possible, more visibility.


Oh, and, pic request, can you get directly behind the bike and take a shot? I'm just curious if the pegs cause them to set at an angle. I know the LED's are most visible if they are pointed directly at you. Could you please take a pic that way? Pretty pretty please?

Well my tail lights are integrated also and i havnt had any problems and as for the pic from behind i can take one but i can only catch one peg light on at a time!!so i guess ill have to take 2!! do you want the pic in the dark or lamps considering my bike sits in my living room!!

I'll be greedy and ask for both

One other question, they aren't wired up as a running light also? Or, brake? They are just for a turn signal, correct? I'm not real eletronics savy. Do the LED's only have one amount of light output? I already have one kit of the LED's you pictured that i was going to use in the engine area.

Tylor

Thats a great idea. Thanks for the idea. I might have to try something like that.

I've got leds placed in my engine bay already, but I'll still try this soon. Maybe this week. Very nice write up man. Very detailed. I only want them for the turn signals, but in red to light up with the tail light.

yeah its only for signal!! im sure there's a way to wire them up as are the tail lights but im not sure how!! oh and as for the pics ill post them on here tonight after i get off work!

I wonder if you get a multi color led if you could get it to flash yellow with the blinkers but still manage to get them to turn red when you hit the brakes.

You could drill 4 holes, and, mount 2 red led's and wire them for the brake, and, 2 yellow, or, whatever color LED's to wire up for your turn signal, but, the wiring would probably be a rats nest.

heres the pics you requested

Looks awesome.

Dang, they look pretty friggen bright. Now, not to jack this thread, but, does anyone know if F3 pegs mount up to an F2? The passenger pegs? Cause, F2's are held by a rod, not the aluminum you can drill out. If they swap, i'm def. doing this mod!!


Tylor

The F3 pegs wont work. I have an F3, and the only way I could do it is if I drill and mount the leds on the side of the peg, kind of defeating the whole purpose of putting more light in the rear. There is a small piece of aluminum in the way on the pegs. I was going to do it, but I went out anf took a closer look at my pegs.

If you look in my gallery at the close up of the tail, you can see the small U-shaped pieces welded on there.

I put mine in the pegs instead of the bracket.

I'm looking to buy some LED's to do the same. The LED's used on your bikes, what is the Luminocity of them? It should be some number with MCD following it. Also, do you know what the viewable angle of the LED's are? It should be on the package.

I've found some 60,000 mcd (which is very bright) yellow LED's on e-bay but the viewable angle is only like 15*. Just curious if you know how bright they are, and if they can be seen well during the day from behind/to the side. Thanks!!

15000mcd seems super bright. thats like yea. .. really bright. i have some 3000mcd 3mm yellows in my pegs that i put on about a month ago. they are plenty bright enough for people to see. i drilled 5 holes on each side and after wiring it up i used rtv to seal the peg from water getting to the wiring. holds up fine

The LED's that i used are from ebay but they have the same exact ones at advance auto!! there called LED accent lights!!

just finished putting these on my bike and i love it it looks so good. looks so much better than those bulky turn signals.
