Alain, dig the pinstripe idea, but paint will have to wait till next year!
I promised a video of this thing working, so here ya go! A bit shakey, but I'm just a dumb biker. What the hell did you expect!

Yeah man, those are 1.25" Todds Cycle strip bars. Great bar, no complaints from me!
I thought about that. I did the original design in a CAD program, and was going to have it CNC'd. The setup cost was way high, but if purchased in bulk (20+), the average price per bracket was around $30. Was planning on ordering 20, but decided to save some $$ and just make this first one myself. The LED's were relatively inexpensive as was the speedo, so all told the cost to me was pretty low compared to what the aftermarket brackets alone go for. I could probably retail the whole setup including the deutsch connectors and pins for $275-$300. There would be a lot of work writing instructions and wiring diagrams, and the end user would have a lot of work slicing and dicing the main harness. Still thinking about it though.....

as far as making the kits. i would be down for one of those. It would help me conquer my fear of wiring. keep us posted bra !!
Thanks guys, appreciate all the compliments! Means a lot! I'll keep you posted on whether or not I'm going to sell these. Gotta gather some funds and find time to do some wiring diagrams. Figure there's a 50/50 shot of getting this into production, at least on a small scale. I'd be able to powder pretty much any color, and chrome would be an option as well. I'll gather my thoughts on it and start a thread if I decide to pull the trigger.
