The light / electrical box on my fatbike is an old gutted solar lamp shell, with 12V auto overhead lamp retrofit LED squares. Kinda looks like it is, a bit bland and homemade.

I upped the ante. I took scrap pedal reflectors, bike front reflectors, and various zip ties, some glue, some clearcoat.

Pretty pleased with it. Went today to get tags for my truck. Found some really great woodlands roads.
Kicker is, its private, all mansions and stuff, but a lot of it was never developed. Great for sneaky fatbikers to take Union Breaks.

I do smile at the camera hidden above the 'private drive' signs.

I got new bmx bars, a stem, a different horn, handgrips, a junction box. Reworked the wiring, cleaned up, lowered front lights. I think its looking more built now, and a bit cleaner.

Hit the city today. First stop, a former homeless camp. The first time this bike has ever stopped here, its usually a full-throttle zone.

Urban Fatbike is now properly dressed for streets.

They look really good on a cruiser.

But geez I rode for half an hour yesterday fumbling with my controls cause I moved them all! It felt wrong.

I can only imagine doing my hands-free, and reaching to grab the bars in the wrong place. Could be bad.
