Put E30 Euro Smiley's on my Honda... Need opinions...

[newman]

At the moment they're just held on with tape. I'd probably throw crosshairs in the left and obviously the projector would go back in on the right.

I would mount them by putting them inside a plastic contoured housing that I would print on my 3d printer.

Anyway, here's pictures:




And this is how it looks with the OEM light.

[evandael]

thats hot shit. what 3d printer do you have and what substrate do you use for durability?

[newman]

Objet Eden333 it uses a material called veroblue which is about 65% the strength of ABS, but more brittle.

[evandael]

what do you do for work? seems like you have some seriously cool toys and past times, which, for no reason except i'm clueless, i did not expect out of buffalo, new york.

I like em on there. Is your trottle still on the bars? I've seen hidden throttles before but I can't see a cable or anything. I dig the bike. I recently laid my 84' Kz550 down and snapped one of the stock muffler trumpets right where it is welded on to the stock pipes. I ended up just cutting the side off to see how I liked the sound. I liked it but it was too loud and hurt my ears. I think it could have been because the pipes end straight down from my head. Does extended the pipes all the way back like yours help with that?

I ended up cutting my stock mufflers down to about half their original size but thats just as quiet as full size mufflers. I have to rejet the carbs anyway. I like to do open pipe if I can figure out a way to keep it from giving me a pounding head ache.

I'm still torn. I think the stock light is a lot simpler and cleaner which matches the rest of the look, but then I look again and really like the duals... I'll probably just make the mount and try it out for a while... The thing is, if I put the duals on, then I can't use these super rad headlight nuts that I made that have real Japanese Yen coins (from a 2002 trip) mounted in them.






As far as the controls:
Throttle: Internal right hand mechanism
Front Brake: right pedal, hydraulic
Rear Brake: right pedal, mechanical
Clutch: left pedal, suicide style, like a car clutch
Gearshift: left hand, behind thigh

Amazing bike, the headlights look great!!
You'll probably get an email from me when I finish my degree in Mechanical Engineering in a few years.. :)

I cannot say I like the dual headlights.

I can say I LOOOVE the shifter though.

[slippery]

I like the single light setup better

Has anyone thought of mounting smoked smileys on a ruckus? Size seems quite similar.
The Ruckus is like a tiny E30, and that's why I want one.

[hooken m]

Had a brain blast. Use the smileys, but intergrate city lights/turnsignals in the actual smile...
