Congrats on your Viper purchase. You will be thrilled!

Thanks doe the compliments and good luck with the installation of the underbody lights :)

[DdgeShelby]

have any more info on your tadpole recumbent?

very interesting..

[stryker48]

I think i have covered just about everything in all my vids.

Is there anything in particular you referring to?

I would be glad to help :)

[DdgeShelby]

I'm interested in the braking system, have any links to a site with pictures?

[LildofWCS]

this is so bad ass!!!!!

i wish i could do this to my bmx

[ploD1]

hehehhe you crazy :)))) that's sooooo cooooollllllllllllll :))))

[stryker48]

That I am! ;) Thanks! :D

[swiftshadow678]

this is amazing. i wish i could do it for my road bike

[stryker48]

Sure you can. Put one full strip underneath the front frame then cut the 2nd bar in half and put one on each side under the frame by the back wheel. That should give you PLENTY of illumination. It's easy to do and the lights and wiring will cost about $40 and a battery another $20 - $30 depending on the amph you're looking for.

[6F00T4TV]

Very good idea fella. Perhaps a solar panel to charge the battery during the day?

[stryker48]

Thanks!

Unfortunately the solar panels would be too large to be practical. The better way to go would be to use Lithium Ion batteries however they are VERY expensive around $700.

I get well over 10 hours of continuos use with my cheap $30 SLA battery which weighs about 4 lbs.

[6F00T4TV]

Well, I'm gonna try and do a similar set up with LED's, solar and wind power. I'll let you know how I get on.

[stryker48]

Great! I'd love to see your new trike all tricked out :)

Look at ALL of Ozniums products as you might find something else you would prefer to use as they have tons of great lights and effects, from inexpensive to top of the line.

There are sooooo many things you could do :)

Good Luck and don't forget to show me.

[Kyst1969]

Brilliant!!

Thanks for the comment..

Hi. When you say the battery lasts for at least 15 hours. Is that the total life of the battery or is it rechargable.  How much did all of it cost (led's etc)?

[stryker48]

I use a 9 amp LEAD ACID battery which of course is rechargeable. Battery price around $25.

each LED strip is 20" long and costs $25 USD each. (I used 5 strips)

Total cost around $180 USD including shipping.

[Jimbobmoe01]

Your sooooo cool!!!!

[kyle69d]

is it legal?

[stryker48]

It is here in Toronto Canada, I wouldn't put it on if it wasn't.

[JaggedPirate]

thats sik!

[dasamking]

haha no one will hit you at night

[Atchupichu]

Absolutely fantastic. I really like your videos.

You inspired me to install some oznium lights on my own KMX trike. I installed them a few days ago and they look terrific. Thanks for the how-to!

[stryker48]

Thanks!, much appreciated and you're welcome!

Glad to hear you put LED lights on your KMX as well and that you are happy with the outcome. Makes for a much safer ride at night and they really look cool.

Thanks for your comment, it's much appreciated.

underglow is a huge waste of money. Ill even admit I have them on my car but never use it. It does look cool but is useless and not worth the hassle, just my opinion though.

[stryker48]

I didn't put the underglow to look cool, although it does.

I installed them so the cars will be able to clearly see my profile at night. When seated, my head is below the bottom on the window of and 2 seater sports car. THAT'S LOW, so I need ALL the lighting I can get. IMHO it's the BEST decision I have made. They WORK GREAT & LOOK SIC and more than do the job I installed them for. So for me, IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY.

[BeeRich33]

You put that on your car? Now THAT is a waste of money. On cars, it makes the driver look like a complete dork.

[ReptilesAreMe]

wow 2 fast 2 furious lol riding in style nice work mate

[stryker48]

Thanks! ... it really improves my visibility on the road at night.

I ordered another 2 strips of LED's, which arrived this morning, which I am going to install under the rear of the frame, flanking the back wheel (dead spot) and also going to be installing a flexible LED under the rear mud gaurd to illuminate my rear wheel.

I'm hoping to complete this later today and make another video.

Thanks for your comment & good luck with your new KMX :D

[Thompsenater08]

good job man from the oz forums!!

[stryker48]

Thanks!

[Tat2Dragons]

Great job!

[stryker48]

Thanks!

[mozunk]

If only they were a little bit more flexible.

Looks like fun!

[stryker48]

The rigid bars work for my application. They do have FLEXIBLE LED strips, also with a 120 degree VA and also waterproof.

Thanks for the compliment.

[culokin]

I followed your link from Oznium. Amazing mod, you did a great job!

[stryker48]

Thanks, much appreciated. They do look 'sic' .... I'm VERY happy.
