    Added some lights for night time

    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?











    thanks.

    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.

    Here are some pics of my headlight bulbs. Changed one of them to PIAA Plasma ION.

    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!
    Don't blame me, I live in a world of bad examples.

    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?
