Boy racer neons

[crazy phrog]

I would love to do up my GSX250 with neons and stuff:Punk: , but I can't find anyone who does anything like it.:shit: Was wondering if anyone has actually kitted their bike up? And do you just use car ones or are there ones that can be put straight onto a bike?:first:

Talk to gijoe1313 he likes blingy stuff like that for his bike.

Come on admit it, you're just mad he thought of it before you did.

I actually think TIE's bike looks pretty cool :)

Looks like done with HI LEDs.

When I get my faired bike I think I might chuck a couple of red LEDs in a couple of strategic places.

A revolving red and blue neon should get your bike noticed.

Some of those neon tubes are quite fragile, I would recommend super bright LEDs - plus you can get LED tube arrangements.

Blue cold cathode + UV reactive stuff = win.

(search function is your friend!)

And now you have gotten me onto my next project for the future to come ... a TRON bike! :eek5:

Dammit. I'm a conservative obnoxious old fart and yet............I kinda like TIE's bike too.

[Monsterbishi]

I'd go with LED's too, especially since you can get them in a huge range of focal width, intensity and colours.

Plus they'll put next to no strain on the charging system.

I had blue LEDs on my GSX and they are really easy to add on There are some cheap kits at Repco

Where do you get that cool plastic? Wonder if you could make radiator hoses, brake lines, etc. out of it and then use those cathodes

r6_kid and I were into these a while ago, he put some green LEDs over his old ZXR250

These guys have some cool stuff: http://www.iceobarimports.co.nz//index.php

It's just your average cable sleeving except it's UV reactive. I don't know if it would be totally applicable for use on bikes as it does tend to melt if exposed to a lot of heat. This stuff would look cool around your wires and lines though. You can get it from most computer stores.

EDIT: The Orange plastic molex connectors are vantec as well, I don't know where you can get that awesome UV plastic from unfortunately.

Cool stuff. Found this stuff, might be of more use on a bike: http://www.uvgear.co.uk/product/product37.htm

Also found this: http://www.uvgear.co.uk/product/product23.htm
I wonder, being polyester, if you could chuck some resin on that to make it solid so it'll be kinda like fibreglass (only without the fibreglass). You have cool looking (but possibly fragile) neon fairings under a black light :D

My Custom scooter had neons...

Just use your imagination...
