LED grill
Has anyone installed LEDs behind the grill?
I want to but there doesn't seem to be any room.
Any pics of good ways to do it?
I have an irate.

I did. I had a couple of windshield LEDs from my Joe Florida kit I installed there. Autozone sells a couple of 8" strips that would work I think.
I had the stock grill on with these on the sides. Using my Irate, I chose top and bottom of the radiator. It'll fit.

I really want to do this as well. I know what kind of LEDs I will use but where did you guys run your wires? I'm thinking maybe under and then behind the engine.

Think I ran those under the frame and around the brake pedal to the radiator.

For the intake you can go up the seat to the right side. Follow the hoses under the tank and to the cover.
