My Kuryakyn brake light controller had seen better days,so I had to put her down. But I still wanted to retain the 2 light setup,and incorporate my LED micro lasers.So,a little cutting,welding,grinding and drilling this morning,produced a couple 3 way lighting pods.

The ability to work so deftly with metal and heat must be so fucking handy while owning a motorcycle. Those lights look cool.

Hey Jeff. The last pic above is the finished piece.The lights are installed and wired in,in that pic.
Here`s a night pic with just the tail light.The brake light is twice as bright and the blinker LED is amber.

And 94FS,the lights are $25 a set,thats 2 lights,with a hi/low wiring set up built in.I`m probably going to mount my last set at the tip of the seat,just for the hell of it. I got them on ebay.

Is that Swedish slang for old geezer who only knows how to gas weld?:) When I know I won`t be grinding them smooth,I put out a little more effort.Here`s a INSIDE bead on my boardtrack tank project..

Thanks Buck. I took pix of nearly every stage,and completed both tanks[the tail holds gas too],but didn`t like the final capacity [1.3gal each],but they both came out airtight and fit good,so it will make a good template for the larger tank I started a couple days ago.I want 2-1/2 to 3 up front for weight distribution.When I get one to my liking,I`ll put up a new thread. BTW,the pictured tank isn`t going to waste,a friend of my brother is buying it to run on a small displacement SaltFlats bike.I`ll believe it when I see it.
