I have some crappy undertail on my bike that was on it when I bought it, If you started making these I would buy one from you.

how much money would you need to start this sort of project?
i'm new here and have no idea about what you just did in the above posts. however, it seems a very talented individual has come up with a great product. i'll be willing to donate to the cause if need be. let me know

Im still in the process of design, i just found some brighter LED's that i think i will try for the next prototype, but they are twice as expensive. Im also researching some sort of dye neutralizer that will take the red out of the stock tail, so that will drastically reduce the price of production.

Im finalizing the PCB design right now, hopefully place the order this week for it. I just got out of school for the summer so funds are very limited til the first paycheck.
If anyone knows where i can buy smoked or clear housings only, that would be awesome if this dye neutralizer stuff falls through.

Okay, ive got my boards on order! Should be about a week before i get them.
Gonna start taking pre-orders now! $165 shipped!
If you send me your stock, un-molested housing ill give you $15 back too!

They will be in the stock red housing, im running the red one now too, the red leds show up even brighter, but the amber is a little muffled but still very visible.

They cost a little bit to make, but hopefully after i expand to other bikes the price will go down cause im buying so many LED's and PCB boards.

What should be the next bike i make it for?
