Thumbs up LEDs in wheel arch

As requested by a few here are some basic shots of the LEDs in the rear wheel arch and the glow effect.
I didn't want an explosion of light such as a main bulb, just a noticeable glow at night when I brake. I may tweak them yey but the general effect is there.

At the moment I have allmost finished off sanding my fairings apart one side one witch seems to be trouble cause 3 screws are in there and refuseing to come out.
Looking thro web to change old tubes and screws, any reccomendations welcome!

Ps! I showed yt evening a picture to my bf and he said if I would post the transporting pic here u guys would probably kill me But we made it safe and sound (A)

Cheers, SB

But............as Mrs SB pointed out it was probably the best/safest method for the conditions.

And I have to agree.

Well done for your ingenuity Missynet.

Cheers, SB

he not whatever works, I was peeing my pants on the way.
I wanted to do a lil different with atleast it being attached safely but I have a persuasive boss riding that thing. Journey was around 2 km but the place where I left it had so called brake down. heating system failed and family turned the place to a storage. I already had a flat front tire in that really cold garage. Not suitable for working on it...

Yesterday welded successfully one of the fairings and received a bran new chain It is soo pretty and shiney

Current Chaos in the garage. Any guesses on what the bike on the raised stand is? Ignore very unimpressed first child!
