Motorcycle Vlog : Anti-Ninja, See and be Seen ( VisionX LED pods + Reflexite )

[deathbyzergling]

Try silicone knuts, it should be a lot harder to remove. Harder to screw in, but just the same...

[pedro335500]

man you bike looks wicked gay with the reflective tape

[erklaerbaer01]

Use red Loctite, you break the bolt befor you can twist of the nut. you can only remove it with a little heat.

[Youngbl33zy]

Is that a corvette I spy?

[brandonm1392]

what u can do to make them more theft proof is mount them inside of ur wind screen and get a bracket to hold them in place i made one so it has a ball oin the end and when im riding i can adjust them there awesome

[tdfitch03]

how did you mount your pelican cases?

[eastcoastzigzag]

i have heard of people throwing a spot weld on the threads under the bolt. also check out Light Force. they have a locking nut.

[P823S]

lol tiny watermelon!

[sickwidit951]

lol bird poop, bare feet in the frame, and V-Strom FINALLY an entertaining Vlog!

[saligari1]

nice work on your vstrom mate!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tugar747]

HEH. Grapes, looked like from Chernobyl farmsite. They are pretty OK to eat but please dont forget to bury them at lerat 6feet in the ground to prevent unwanted iradiation. :)

[Cloakedsphere]

Use a Rivet gun for putting rivets into the lights to secure them better. They will never fall off or break. And the are Bassically impossible to get off. I spent hours but after constant banging with a hammer and a crow bar they popped off. So you should try those. It Makes to much noise to just even deal with.

[Powert0ThePeople]

Damn there were some big grapes.. did you grow them?

[basque31]

AWESOME!!!!! I am feeling that helmet and HALO!!!!

SUBSCRIBED!!!!

[bfmv580]

[Ve1cro]

[crazycrackergabe]

lock tight or jb wield

[nounaisxoxox]

are you french?

[DumbDuck44]

@nounaisxoxox !?!? I am no cheese eating surrender monkey!!! =p

[rynoride]

@DumbDuck44 hahahahahahaha

[cyrusdavirus007]

How hard were they to wire? Any modifications need to make to your bike?

[ih8margarine]

suggestion: round off the hex nuts. that way noone can undo them. but that will also mean you wont be able to get them off yourself :S

[Arvak777]

cool vid, plus i really like the bike, has that comfy touring look to it

[cniiru]

Where did you order the reflexite tape?

[graylx]

I'm curious too heh. The only ones appearing on Amazon are showing up for $39+ for each roll!

[DumbDuck44]

google Identi-tape. at least they allow somewhat smaller orders, but still best if you have multiple things to tape or a buddy to split the order w/.

[jbravo70]

Nice vid dude. I really like the solstice led lights, but man are they expensive. For a pair will run $300!!! I want to order the flood versions for my tricked out 4x4 truck, and install them in the back for hauling or backing up. If I were you I would have somebody give a quick tac weld to the nut and screw, so they can't unscrew them and rip them off.

[DumbDuck44]

They are $119 per w/ free 2-day shipping no tax on Amazon. Unless you were including the cost for a bracket?

It is really expensive compared to incandescent which might be all you need for your application, but its actually cheaper than HID mini-lamps which was the other route I was thinking of going.

Good idea on the spot weld. Might do that and then hit em w/ splash of spray paint.

[jr4151988]

What size are the pelican cases and how did you mount them? I'm thinking about trying to retro a couple of top loading 1430's for side cases.

[DumbDuck44]

Sorry for the late reply, they are Pelican 1520s, 52 liter capacity combined IIRC. They are mounted to a Pelican PL532 rack. They have two hockey pucks cut in half and mounted to latch onto the bottom bar of the Givi rack, and then the top is simply a hand-screw. I put a link in the info deal on the top right ---->

[billmaa]

Great video man, your bike is so James bond!

[sketchrider83]

your bike reminds me of a transformer! haha

[bikerboomer]

dem is some big grapes...

[CARLOvonH]

Deine Zusatzscheinwerfer leuchten schön hell ,wie man sieht bei 4:11 . Nachtfahrten sind damit bestimmt angenehm und super Sicher zu bewältigen.

RIDE SAFE ... Duck (5*)

[davidhowellca]

Whoa. Impressive amount of light coming from those things.

Those grapes are like freakish science experiments!

[DumbDuck44]

there really is such a thing as a grapple! they sell them at Krogers here, they are grape flavored apples. it even smells like purple grape.

[riyusVids69]

LMFAO did u know that was bird poop when u touched it HAHAHAHA. that akword laugh was the fucking BEST lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DumbDuck44]

nope, brain wasn't firing on all cylinders at the time, heh.  =p

[riyusVids69]

lol i actually laughed btw best part of the whole vid :P

[danmoto73]

nice job installing all that, could do with those lights on my offroad bike :) great vid

[DumbDuck44]

thx! =)

[Alflington]

Duckman...you don't have webbed feet..

I was looking into getting some of that tape to put on all my luggage so great to see it in action.

[DumbDuck44]

nope, but my down is oh so soft. quack!

[sajakbar]

i just hope you dont ride past anyone with epilepsy :S but yeh ..i want a tron bike :(

[robinphillips]

I'd go to a metal workshop and get a custom led holder made, woud'nt cost much i think ;-) That tape looks great...

[DumbDuck44]

yeah, I just might do that. =) I'd need to take off what I have to spray paint it at the very least, as its a bit ghetto lookin' right now.

[gunnaboy70217]

i agree, if you cant be spotted on the rode

with a bike yellow bike, extra lights,and reflective tape..maybe you shouldnt ride

=D.

death star grape..lol

[DumbDuck44]

yeah, they better see me. although I probably destroy their nightvision so they crash two seconds after they see my raver glow-stick bike.

PS: you know, I should have done SNL parody instead now that I think about it. "I just ate a grape and I.... JIZZED IN PANTS!"

[gunnaboy70217]

lmao WOW!..snl is missing out..

[svengalie]

To make it theft proof just fuck up the threads on the bolts, it's staying on there forever right?

So just grab a hammer, and wack the bolt/thread or grind them so there is no longer a thread/a spanner will no longer fit it.

[svengalie]

Damn not svefg

[REEDSBUD]

Damn my brutha those lights are KILLER!!! You did a really nice job with the reflective tape and the light install!! Sure hope all that keeps you much safer out there!! That grape was GNARLY!!!

[DumbDuck44]

thx bud! :D
