o.O

The real issue would be finding somewhere to mount it that won't cook - that underslung muffler makes putting anything on the underside difficult.

Or have you removed the stock muffler?

Go to your local autozone they have light strips pretty cheap.I used a 5" light strip on my plate .It lights the whole back of the bike up pretty good.I think it was 10$.I just stuck it with double sided tape to the plastic and used two tiny plastic screw.I dont have a picture of it lite up .But it definately lights the whole back of the bike up 10Ft round.Its a whitish blue color.This picture is really old

Take a look at EL wire. If you want an neat effect press the EL wire into any crevice or even use cable ties and tie it to whatever. Low voltage, low draw, lasts a long time. And you can cut it to length. Shorter lengths glow brighter. Less light than CCFL tubes or LEDs but provides a nice glow. I use the stuff to dress up n00bish PCs : p

Fuses are there for reasons. You can just unplug the wires jam the new wires in the plugs and connect the two connectors together. That's all I did for the plate light. I'll get you a pic soon.
