    Interesting but I would have to see it in person. Being an 'old school' type it is probably too gimmicky for me but I am not the only rider.

    <<< These light panels come in over a dozen colors, from a few inches to the size of a car hood >>>

    Trying to get my head around this? Is this a paint job or are they stickers or decals???

    Looks cool, but I'm having a little trouble understanding exactly how it goes on too. And where are the wires? Behind?

    If you got any pictures of the process, that would be really cool.

    I'm kind of not into that "HEY, Look at me" thing. I might get identified. LOL

    Peace

    Very neat! If it is a "Paint" it would be very cool to use on all sorts of things!

    Here's a picture of the tank panels before the paint job goes on.

    There are electrical leads. They run under the part.

    Yes this extreme paint job is for people who like "Show" bikes. But you can also just do a small design like a fender with a name that lights up or a Harley emblem, military insignia, something like that.

    I like that my bike tells my story of belief, when the lights come on you read plainly in all this seemingless graffiti, "Christ is King", "Jesus Christ", "Faith" and "Grace".

    Now I see! The thin light panels are put on first and then the paint to mask. Very cool.

    Interesting post !
    The safety aspect is a big plus,drivers would spot a rider a lot quicker I think.
    Thanks for sharing this.

    interesting idea, however it seems as though a person is limited to whom paints their ride. I really won't let anyone but Jo paint my ride, shoot she'd never go on an adventure with me again I'd hate to end that 17 year riding buddy relationship. Unless the light parts are sold individually and customers can take it to their own painters i see it as limited. have a great one! "T"

    I like this idea. How can we get these light panels if not near Illinois? What are the paint limitations?I saw something like this at SEMA a couple years back.

    Ahhh... very interesting. I can't see any seams in the pictures but am having a hard time believing you can't see any in real life? Hell, even vinyl decals leave a seam... The technology is cool as hell. Couldn't pay me enough to have it on my bike but still a very interesting concept.

    Wonder if there is a law concerning riding and the light on?

    Good question!  
    And are there different size papers beside the ones shown on these pictures?

    Yes, She can place an order with me, she will get a video of how to install. As long as she's comfortable extensive body work application (AKA sanding her ass off) she should be fine.

    The only law I know of regarding lighting in most states is that you may not have BLUE lights on while moving because that is only used for law enforcement vehicles. Though honestly we've had blue on for years and never been stopped, I have heard rumors of people who have been given at least a warning.

    Usually the cop stops you and says, "Can I see that? That's cool as hell!"

    That's becaus there aren't any prices!! Ha, ha, you're not slow! 

    Seriously, we quote each individual job on it's estimated hours.

    Thanks, Lucy
