    Potential Tail Light?

    The pictures I have attached are of a multi-LED flashlight that I'd like some advice on how to turn it into a rear tail light. I'm going to put some sort of red lens in the case with it. But how might I wire this? It is the usual battery setup, negative and positive posts for a battery holder.

    2010 Vyrus 987 C3 4V

    This bike is astounding on many levels. The supercharged [Volumex supercharger] Ducati power plant, the fact that it's the lightest and most powerful [211 horsepower, 341 pounds with fluid] motorcycle of its class and the very radical steering system [Omega frame and hub-centered steering] takes...

    Wheeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!! What a relief!

    I just about had a heart attack when my recently-acquired bike started acting up! The clutch would grab like no tomorrow, and then some- to the point where no matter how much gas I gave it, it would almost bog down and die. But first, let me set the scene: I have an aftermarket tank...

    Finally got my own XS650. Picture to prove it!

    It's taken me weeks to finally save up enough to get this 1979 XS650. So far I've had it for one day and it isn't too bad. I like it. It's different than anything else I've ridden. I've only taken one picture, but I'll be adding more.

    Gas tank on an 08 Night Rod.

    I sat on this beast at a local bike shop the other day and it was comfortable and whatnot. After a bit I noticed that there was no visible way to gas that thing. I didn't see a filler cap anywhere. Am I just dull, or just an idiot? I don't know. Please, someone, tell me where it is on that bike...

    Brand new member from the mountains

    I'm a Colorado mountain bum. I've been looking for about a month at a '79 which will be the first xs I've had. All I'm bound by now is the money. I love these bikes. I enjoy the fact that there is just so much available to do with them, in the engine and the looks. And being that there is a good...
