    I'm buying some LED lights from boogey.com. I'm trying to get some color combo schemes! I'm thinking white, but am not sure.

    Post up your bike or bikes you've sen that have night lighting!

    I think the lighting thing is more for the sport bike crowd?

    See, "unless" it is a show bike, or you primarily just ride to bike nights, and not much else for the BLING BLING factor.....I just don't understand bike-lighting. I would rather spending money on something that makes my bike faster/quicker/last longer/, new gear to protect me, etc, etc.....

    Some look cool, but I just don't understand.....I guess it is the same as someone with a 100,000 watt stereo that is louder than a jet airplane. Some people don't understand why we ride.......don't I have egg on my face?!

    Yeah, I think this might be the wrong crowd to try to pitch this kind of thing to.

    ^^I kind of figured. Its not popular on many sportbikes anymore, if it ever was. They don't approve on sportbikes.net either.

    I have her viffer down for all its maitenance and to patch up were our daughter dropped it in the driveway. added some blue to match some of her gear( she's a chick, it don't have to make sence, I wanted red-white-blue) but I have some blue LEDs that might look cool on it if I feel like wiring them up.

    I have a blue LED light kit i just got in the mail along with my HALO Angel Eyes. I think it'll look pretty cool when I get it all wired up. Gonna put the eyes and light on 2 diff switched so I can have them on/off independantly and at my will. Soon hopefully.

    Just go to ebay and search for "vfr 800 angel eyes"
    Basically they are LED's that go around your headlight bulbs. I think they look pretty cool. I have em already just waiting to have the time to install them.

    I dont like the looks (kind of christmas three), but I have to admit it increases road safety...

    I have red LED's behind my fairings. Not nearly as bright as those in the pics at the top of the page. Very subtle red glow. I light the headlights better though.

    Used to have it on cruiser bikes (Suzuki Marauder & Honda VF750). With right color and chrome looks realy good and much better visable at night (that's my opinion). Planning to do the same with my VFR...

    I am thinking of draping my bike with netting and hooking up a bunch of LED's that flash on and off or maybe some of those programmable signs you see in places. If I do this do you think it would look funny if I had a small trailer towed behind my bike to hold a generator? The generator would be a Honda.

    I saw a GoldWing like this and it was really cool. It reminded me of Close Encounters.

    2007 Vfr W/ Blue Leds

    Here is mine, will get better pics soon, mean to replace the strip in lower fairing with a Blue Neon Rod, first I need to find out what it will do to my total volt/amp drain. I always like to choose contrasting colors, it makes the color of the bike POP:rockon:
