I will make a post, many have probably seen this at other boards but here ya go.

I bought an LED light for my atv off of Ebay a few months ago.



Although it looked cool, everyone complained that it was hard to see, and even though I never see it, in dusty trail conditions it is nice for the guy behind you to know where you are.

So my mind got to working and I headed to the local store and found some LED clearance lights, knowing how the light from Ebay was constructed I was pretty sure I could make the clearance light work. I brought the light home and applied my theory and it worked.

So now I sat and thought and came up with 7 designs, I shared those designs with my closest friends. This was the winner.


So now to make that take life, I started off with a paper template. I transferred that to a piece of aluminum that I had at laying around


I took that to the sheet metal brake and bent up the edges so the piece would appear to be a solid chunk of Aluminium. Took the piece to a local boat manufacture and had them weld up the corners, again to give it that look that it was solid.



Then it was time to sand, debur and polish.



And now mounted on the bike



Mounted up

Grrrrrrrrr any thing I hate is telling a BOMB guy that he done good! But have to admitt sweet idea, looks real nice. Several years ago at a sled show guy had some LED lites that spelled among other things POLARIS they were pricey but awesome.

Nice touch with the SLOW MOVING VECHILE sign!

Ehhh...I think that's a "YIELD" sign, in other words, "Move over, or you get runned over"

Very nice Bruuuuce, Cob had a good idea though, they should have spelled Bombardier. Or, maybe BRP. Still cool as heck!

TYPICAL BOMB GUY, anyone besides BOMB guys notice the sign is on the rear?

Sounds like you got a winner. Make a bunch and they will sell... Pretty cool....

Yeah could probley sell the lights also!

All kidding aside a good idea a super quality job.

Yeah, we noticed, We were just hoping you wouldn't

I agree that those lights forming some designs, logo's or emblems would sell. Course you got that copyright thing....

I would like to think they would sale but I doubt they will. Would make them if anyone wanted them. I may replace my LED's with clear lens red LED's that I just found but not sure yet.

Yeah I know, those polaris guys like to make jabs about the SMV triangle but in Missouri it is a LAW that you have to have one, that and a 7 foot flag so, I get to be the but of jokes. But that is okay.

Where did you find the clear LED's? I'd like a couple for side "rock" lights & backup lights.

Also I was thinking LED's were "single element", so to speek. So how did you get two brightness levels?

I was going to ask if that was required by law.

That is a nice set up on those lights Bruce. Those old ones looked nice but dang couldnt tell if you had the brake on or if that was just how slow that thing goes

Oh yes a rear light and brake like are required in MO.

Hay Gobber just though I would show you the back of my outty because thats all you will e ver see of it.

That's a heckuva nice job of fabbing.

UHHH.....I don't suppose it would be very nice to mention that our Sportsmans came standard with TWO led brake lights as standard equipment....nah that would just be giving COB ammo.

I don't think so Scooter.....

Cool, very cool looks good.

My bad ATVER.....It's just the reflectors that give it that look.

Hey SPUD, I knew what you were talking about, it is a nice looking tail light. I like that effect on some of the new cars too....
