New UK Skyteam V-Raptor 250 - Laser Tag
In another post, I mentioned you could get a lazer pointer that projected a red line when you applied the brakes. I couldn't resist and bought it from eBay.
Today, after dealing with all of the emails and projects I have on the go, I manged to finish by 1400 so took the bike out for a nice 30 mile ride along the back roads. The engine is definitely freeing up and it pulled up to 50 mph without seeming to work too hard. I think it is going to need a sproket change at some point in the future as I was running out of gears - a common problem on dual use bikes - but that is for another day. Feeling enthused, I got the laser pointer out and looked to see how hard it was going to be to fit. Unwrapping. It is about 1/2 inch diameter and 3/4 inch long http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...010058-001.jpg The front twists to align the beam, not obvious, I thought I had a wobbly one. Looking up under the fender, I found the wiring for the rear light - here you can see where I temporarily wired the laser into the circuit to check it. http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...010059-001.jpg Here you can see where I placed it to see how well I could get the beam to display http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...010062-001.jpg This is it mounted on top of the rear light unit. It is stuck with 3M double sided tape and I drilled a 1mm hole through and inserted a couple of self tappers. http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...010063-001.jpg Here is the beam. It was very sunny today and the beam can be seen about 6 ft aft of the bike. I tucked all of the wiring away and cable tied everything securely. There is a little box about a 1/2 inch square in the wiring of the light so it wasnt possible to simply drill a small hole to feed the wire through so that is tucked up within the light support. http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...010065-001.jpg I will try and get some photos when it is dark.

Is the purpose to attract the attention of cagers?
|
Is this a James Bond, 007 device which blinds following motorists, who are preferably bad guys?

I am simply offering Laser Eye Surgery to motorists who drive too close. I see it as a public service as I am not charging them for it.
