If you wanted, mount your strips, print the law and ride?
But if i dont know what the law really states i might be in trouble getting pulled over and trying to tell them the law?
Im not a cop and i dont know how this really reads.
Does anyone else know any more about this?

 

what do you want to do????

 

i have a Red bike and i wanted to put some red LED's around the frame to where it would glow off of the motor and frame to accent my ride.

 

Go for it, I like blue..................

 

you just cant be riding around w/ those on all the time or you will get a ticket
I have seen alot of folks hide them under the plastic w/o getting any sh*t from the poo poo

 

That was my intent under plastic.

 

Sec. 316.224
(1). No emergency type lights
(2). No white light to rear
Sec. 316.225. When reflectors and lights are required, they must be properly mounted
Sec. 316.226. Must be proper lights not some goofy think you buy at the 5 and dime.

I think most jurisdictions would look at those lights as "Unauthorized" and you would stand to get tagged if operating on a road. Each state/province is a little different but basically everyone's equipment laws are almost cookie cutter the same.

 

Mount em and use em while your bike is parked, just not when your rolling ( or you will get a ticket if caught ).
I had a sick little minitruck and I just used the lights while parked.
Of course I am paranoid about people f*cking with my sh*t so I only used em when I had view of my truck, because it obviosly attracts attention.

 

I have about a week before my fairings come back from the paint shop. :thumbsup:
I have a few ideas of where I can place them.
Now all i need is to pick the right color.
(more over the legal color or good placement):crazy:

 

And they called him "Pimp-a-licious" baby!

I am a law enforcement officer in Ohio, the big reason for no red and blues facing forward is because they are reserved for law enforcement. The law is to keep people from displaying red and blue and causing people in front of them to think it is the police. As long as you keep it under the fairings and it is not flashing you should be okay. But different jurisdictions have different ordinances. The state has it's revised codes and each individual city can have more strict codes. Check with your local law enforcement agency to see what laws may be on the books in your location not just Florida as a whole.
