stuck the LED indys on the SV this evening, getting round to something i've been meaning to do, now they're on there with the HID headlamps and LED sidelight bulbs it means there's not a single filament bulb on the bike any more

that is all

None in the gauge cluster?

I'm holding out now for LED headlights- I just bought a torch with one of the new 3W cree LEDs in, and it's focused as hell but not drastically less bright than some motorbike headlights I've had. So build a nice wee cluster of properly aimed LEDs, and you could have a pretty damn effective headlight. And hardly any current draw either. Apparently the nature of the beam isn't too good for depth perception but you could add less efficient LEDs in a different shade of white to counter that. The future's bright...
