Got it installed, works great after getting it all adjusted. I'm using the largest cam which is supposed to be about 55° to full throttle. The throttle feels a little heavier to turn due to the larger cam but, with a little getting used to, it's fine.

Are you going for a "floating" wall look?
Might be easier to glue some wood blocks to the MDF as standoffs, then screw through the MDF and standoffs into the wall. You could essentially build the support, install the LED's, screw it into place, then glue the styrofoam panels to it.
I'm liking your little project, a lot of ways to do it depending on the desired outcome and budget.
You can go fairly thin on the MDF if you have a solid mounting system as in option 2. The main thing will be making sure it doesn't flex while installing the styrofoam.
Since this seems temporary with it being rented, have you considered removable double sided foam tape or removable caulk? Just some thoughts.
The LED strips should be fine on the styrofoam if they're of decent quality. They generate a little heat, but not enough to do damage (styrofoam cups hold 100° water without melting).

Since this is about speed/red light cameras, I'm hoping I may ask a couple questions.
Who is responsible for the ticket? Is it the registered owner or the driver? Is there anyway to fight the ticket?
Curious since I know I got flashed in France, yet we never received a ticket. Lord knows how many cameras nailed me in small villages, although I think a lot of them were fake or just lights to scare you into slowing down (we have those here).
In CA we only have red light cameras and many have been removed or disabled due to the costs of using/maintaining them and their minimal success. The tickets can be fought in court very easily by simply asking to "face your accuser". Before even issuing a ticket they need to have a fairly good image of the driver, with a motorcycle this is hard to do if you wear a dark smoke face shield. My wife got a red light ticket a while back. The court mailed it in my name, I went to court, said it wasn't me, and that was the end of it.
How does it all work there?
Little update, the cables arrived at the US distributor and I should have them Monday or Tuesday. Will likely get the throttle installed next week. Hope I can remove the throttle grip without destroying it...
Also been fine tuning my quickshifter, it works very well and is extremely easy to make changes to. Plus it's barely noticeable on the bike since the sensor is so small.
I feel bad for the elderly gentleman's family.
This is exactly the type of stereotype we have to deal with as motorcyclists. YouTube has created an outlet for egotistical, self centered ass clowns who don't care about others or the damage they cause because it's "cool" and will get them ratings/subscribers. I hope the justice system hits him hard, but I'm not holding my breath.

We have it way too easy here in CA. I got my permit a little before getting my first motorcycle then, about four weeks later, I took the DMV motorcycle driving test and got my M1 license, done (I was 23). No cc/power restriction at any age. The written test is common sense and the riding test is too easy (you really shouldn't ride a motorcycle if you can't pass).
From our DMV website:
Motorcycle License Check List
To obtain a motorcycle license if you are under age 18 you must:
Be 16 years of age.
Have had your permit for six months.
Provide proof of driver education/driver training completion.
Provide a completion certificate from the motorcycle rider training course.
To obtain a motorcycle license if you are 18 or older you must:
Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application form (DL 44). To obtain this form by mail, call DMV's automated phone service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-777-0133.
Pay the application fee.
Pass a vision examination.
Study for and pass the written test.
Give a thumb print.
Have your picture taken
If you do not have a California driver license, you will also need to:
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document.
Provide your social security number.
Provide your true full name.
If you are under 21, you must provide a completion certificate from the motorcycle rider training course.
If you are over 21, you may complete and provide the completion certificate from the motorcycle rider training course OR schedule an Appointment(s) at DMV to take the motorcycle driving test.
So you're limited on power, yet need a certain cc in order to to take the test? Interesting. I keep telling my wife if she really wants a motorcycle license that she needs to get it here. From what I've read we can just turn in our US drivers licenses, fill out some paperwork, pay a fee and get Swiss licenses.
@Without(TM)_speed no need to apologize for your English, it's far better than my Swiss German. I appreciate everyone here welcoming me in and accommodating me.
