Cool DIY Sidemarkers

I noticed besides the head/tail lights there are not any side markers that stay on. I had some old LED strips laying around so I tapped into the Lic. Plate light and wala side markers. Day/Night Shots.




Later tonight I'll be installing T-Rex Sliders..

Thanks. I threw them on so I wouldn't chance losing them during the move after I bought it.

Just do a krylon dip or what? The red doesn't look half bad.

You're welcome. They were a snap to install.

The T-Rex really are a beneficial add-on. My father just low sided his 98' S-hawk last month /with a pair of those installed. Bike skidded across asphalt about 30 feet, before coming to a halt in the grass. Handlebar ends, sliders, and the front corner of the exhaust can got the worse of the damage. The slider was ground pretty good- yet all was very salvageable. Well, A lot better than his pride.

For something like $60 shipped it has to be one of the best add ons.
