    I know most people don't like these, but I do. They increase safety, and I think they look kinda sporty. I didn't want to over do it, so I just did the vents and a little over the rear wheel. It took a while because I didn't want the LED's themselves to be visible.

    My camera is decent, but I suck at shooting. Let the flaming begin?

    Maybe I should do that. It might help me find all the little parts I've dropped inside my bike. I could probably lighten it up by five pounds or so.

    I've got to start reading before looking at the pics, I thought this was a "how do I get the flashlight out" thread. Is that actually white led's you put under there? I guess from the side you are much more visible than without them, not a bad look, I really light the one on the rear. Good job, now about getting that flashlight outta there.....

    it doesn't look like it, but they are all a very intense white. The one that looks kinda yellow, is because its reflecting off my bike. You don't see that in person, but the camera picks it up.

    I am thinking of adding some on the underside, to light up the ground, but it wounldn't do much functionally, so I am thinking it wouldn't be a good idea?

    thoughts?

    I am loving the feedback.

    you came into my photo thread just to try and insult me? Seems pretty rude.

    Anyways, I took a ride tonight, and it rocks. The bulbs are significantly brighter, and the color is amazing. Its nice to be able to see.

    I think it looks good. I had some red l.e.d.s inside the fairings at the rads and I liked it but kept having connection issues so I got mad and ripped them out. Don't worry 'bout the naysayers, do what ya like.

    The more i see it the more i like it. Was their another color or were you always going with white? Maybe a mixture of led's. Good job!

    I'm thinking of putting some LED's on my VFR before riding season starts. How much of a pain was it to install? How do you have them wired?
