In the 2nd picture, what are in those yellow boxes on those racks way in the back? Still waiting for the Oznium shop thread...

Slowly starting to piece together a 3D model of it from the various shots I've seen.

Yellow bins are full of small products - LEDs, fuses, LED strips, relays, blah blah.

In the first picture, on the shelves. What are those labels labeling? And in the last picture, those crates stacked up, what come in those? Those look like USPS mail containers or w/e.

Box numbers and their weight.

Nothing comes in those, outgoing shipments go in them.

And seriously Tim, we can't really broadcast everything that's going on inside the warehouse. Too much liability.

There are no photos of the overhead, are you going with florescent lighting, perhaps some high wattage halogen bulbs or natural light?

Haha. Flourescant lights and natural lighting. Very very very rarely needed to turn lights on in the summer.

IMHO:

LEDs must be hidden. Seeing the strips makes it look tacked-on and cheap, kind of like you nailed Xmas tree lights to the bike. Again, IMHO.

Also, this is really a bike that would benefit from a single color (I'd say the purple). I say this because, visually, the chromed-out engine is so visually complex (lots of twisty highlights and reflections), having a single color of glow will serve to draw the eye where you want it - ON THE LOVELY SHAPES OF THE BIKE ITSELF. Adding multiple colors distracts the eye and draws attention to the glow rather than allowing the glow to serve as an accent. This is also why the LEDs should be stealthed - anything that detracts or distracts from the eye seeing the bike itself should, I think, be avoided.

But, to each their own...

I Like it. I know first hand how tough it is hiding any kind of lights under the tank of a bike.

I'm assuming it's still a work in progress though. There are a ton more spots to hit that will really help show off that chrome as well as the paint.

I wish the pics came out better of the Fatboy I did up last year.

And I guess I'll be the first to compliment the bent LP Not sure if that degree of bend will accomplish goal the trend was started for but I like how it flows with the curves of the bike.
