ok guys,i`m calling this one done! :) think i`m gonna keep it around for a while,before she goes back stock. anyway,the mystery propulsion device,is just a girls tank that i drilled full of holes,ground to fit the head tube,filled it with 15ft. of blue El neon tubing hooked up to a 3 way switch,then painted w/ silver hammered finish paint. i decided to use just the axle mounted landing lights,and left the headlight off. the lights are 9 led keychain flashlights,mounted on very simple brackets.caveman technology at its finest! :lol: took some pics today,but still need to take some night shots! :wink: Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image [img][IMG]http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr355/texasbigjohn/DSCN0518.jpg[/img]http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr355/texasbigjohn/DSCN0508.jpg[/IMG]

Looks perfect. Great idea on the perferated tank w/lights. I just saw that ELwire for the first time today. Where did you get yours.
