    Default LED Pods

    I am about to install four, 6 LED light pods & a dimmer switch on my 06 Busa. Do I need to be concerned with installing a 2nd battery or a battery capacitor. Intend to run Halo lights, possibly an alarm @ some point in the future but just wanting night-time visibility right now.
    Go big....or go home!

    led's don't drain the battery hardly at all. I've left a whole lot of led's on when i had my gsxr one time at work for a couple hours and the bike fired right up. I wouldn't worry about and extra drain unless your running a whole lot with the bike off.

    I left my LED for a whole day. I got home from night ride and didn't ride the next day, so when I came a day after I saw my LED light on and was like (%$#@#^%#), I turn on my Busa closed my eyes and.......VOOOOOOOOOOM came right on like LED were never left on.

    The alarm will pull more juice than the LEDs will. If you going to go more than a week without riding it add a maintenance charger. .75-1 amp or so. Something that will shut off automatically so you don't destroy your battery.
