Default Mood lighting on an RT

Anyone have Magical Wizard/Fusion/Etc accent LEDs on their RTs?

I've looked all over to try to find the mounting locations for these jobbers to decide if it's a process I want undertake next time I have a little leave to burn.

I've got no innate talent for such things so without specific mounting locations, I'd likely screw it up and have the whole danged system sucked into the drive belt, killing all the power on the bike.

Thanks for any info.

You are definitely going to have to post some pics when you're done...
My gut tells me that you might be best erved by mounting them behind body panels that are pretty solid on the bike... I've seen them on the swingarm and front A-arms, but I'd be nervous about them getting sucked into something that's moving... Let the light come peeking out through the vents or from under the bike and it should look pretty neat!

I want to give the bottom a glow. Saw one on a website with the vents lit. Sweet. Same one had lights behind the clear wind deflectors under the rearview mirrors. Looked really nice.

I want some, but have no idea if I'm capable of the install (laughs)

You might try this site. They have a lot of accent lighting for bikes that you might like.

I'm sold on the idea of having them. I just need to find somewhere that says, "On the Can-Am Spyder RTS, attach this LED strip here (see figure)," so I can determine if I'm adept enough to install the danged things (laughs).

I have all of the mechanical know-how of a hamster... I completely understand your reservations!
My Missus and I have been looking at LEDs also, and while I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet, I'm hopeful because there's lots of Tupperware to hide the wiring and finding a hot-lead and ground should be easy...
Patience (and RUM!) goes a long way in calming the jitters!

Just rechecking on installation instructions for LED accent lighting.

Anyone have the FUSION LEDs from Be Seen at Night on their RT? Would love to take a look at their installation instruction sheet if anyone has one to scan.

Thanks.

Have you talked to Reggy at tricled.com?

his Halo lights attach real easy underneath then just have to run the wires

Im so dumb that I'd need to see where the wires are run. Wish I was kidding about how inept I am about such things.

Maybe Be Seen will be at the Vegas Motorcycle show this yr and I can just have them install it.
