temp brake light conversion for 12-bar

any bike can do this... I wanted to make a temp tail light for my bike so I can ride on roads... so this is what I did... I went to superbrightleds.com they had a matrix of 36 red led in wide spectrium bout 1.5 inches square they poped into 1157 socket... so now I use super small zipps around the square then one that I zipped to paper clips you use to hold a small stack...the heavey duty ones not the normal clips... I had that clip onto a powerful small magnet...then bam stuck to 12-bar and right into socket... real easy fix!:YEAH just thought Id share that

Re: temp brake light conversion for 12-bar

Re: temp brake light conversion for 12-bar

first... I am not going for looks... thought thatd be obvisious... and secondly, I wanted something easy to take off on put back on for travel to the store from the spot... this ISNT for perm fix... slap on slap off... basicly when I stunt I got no lights on the front or rear... the less I have on the bike the less will break right?....right... anywho I just got my 12 on the week before this pic and its been crapy weather round here and I work 11hour days 7pm-6am... but wouldnt matter anyway cause I cant scape yet! just starting in on the slow *****... but yeah the stalks are good if you want perm fix which I dont
