Having them get brighter and dimmer with rpms would be cool.

You gotta be careful with certain colors and blinking stuff facing backwards. Some local laws have restrictions for that kind of stuff.

Good point. I'll check with a friend who's a State Trooper and get his guidance on it.

The flash math is this:

At 60 pulses per second the light will appear solid to the human eye that sees no more than 60 frames per second. This means 60*60, which = 3600 flashes per minute. If the lights flash once every two rpm (whenever cylinder 1 fires), 3600*2 = 7200 rpm. Based on that I expect the lights to flash at idle approximately 450 times a minute or 7.5 times a second...say sitting at a light, and as you go through the rpms it will flash smoothly faster until you hit 7200 RPM...at which point it will be flashing so fast it just looks solid. Anything above 7200 will just continue to look solid.

I will tie in all bike led lighting to the same circuit (excluding normal bike lighting), making the whole bike flash the same way. It'll be interactive with rpm, and would be cool if I can also tie in brightness with throttle position or something.

Will. Be. Pimp.

It's a built and modified hybrid a340e/AW4 4 speed automatic. Nothing special about the motor swap for sure...people have put 2Js in everything under the sun, including boats. My swap is special for the integration of the auto with Jeep 4wd, and the j-spec obd1 conversion to US-Spec OBDII.

I'm building this thing to be all-around bad-***. Sort of an end of days apocalypse theme. If you are able to catch it on the street, then good luck catching it off-road. Nothing like a crawler...just a Jeep that will grab the environment by the neck and punch it in the face...over and over again.
