This is going to be my primary source of transportation for at least another month as I save up enough money to repair my car. After that, it will still be ridden for fun, as a supplement to my car, and for shorter around-town trips.
I guess what I really meant (especially after looking at motorcycle lights parts) was that I wanted something a hellua lot more substantial than the handful of bicycle turn signals I've seen... so, something as "integrated" as what you see on a motorcycle I guess. My bike is very military and utilitarian looking (as opposed to slick and artistic). "Integrated" means someone doesn't look at the bike and blurt out "what the heall is going on with those LIGHTS"
I think for what I really want, 12v is going to be the way to go. I won't be riding in pitch black, but I will be riding on low-lit residential streets at night. It doesn't need to be 100% from scratch, but I know that there isn't going to be many "made for motored bike" lighting kits.
I was finding small-ish 12v batteries, some were rechargeable, and some even had solar panel chargers. "More wires" isn't too much of an issue, because I think that will go with the overall look.
So, I'm going to finish waking up this morning, and start processing everyone's ideas. I'll also have to relearn how to read circuit diagrams (haven't had to read one in 25 years). I've got ideas for what I want to do with the battery
