Man, I almost would like that. I hate, HATE, ricer cars with stupid shaZam! on them but for some reason I like LEDs on bikes.

Hell no. I bought a Monte Carlo just to prove my loyalty to American Steel. In retrospect I should have bought an Acura or Subaru, but the point remains.
Bikes are the opposite for me...I can't dig Harleys at all.

LED's are cool on a bike....on the right bike. I would not put them on a GS....I think they make it look cheap.

What is it about
purple LED lights advertised specifically for the GS500 that you consider off topic? :nana:
I too absolutely loathe and detest stupid ricer cars, and neon and crap on them make me hate them even more. For some reason, though, tastefully placed LEDs on a bike can look very good. I'll see if I can find the pics of the blue FZ1 with blue LEDs. It looked NICE.

I agree with all of the above...and I'd add that blue LEDs look especially good in a gaming PC. :mrgreen:

oh come on. this isnt about a gs500 ricer lite kit. its about purple this n purple that. maybe if it was a request for help with installing the kit or something. excuse me for being 'picky' about what should/shouldnt be in the general section. some of us like to read about GS's in the general section. not who can find the most purple colored motorcycle accesories.

Unfortunately, we can't all ONLY have what WE like talked about in a forum. You have to put up with the good (whatever it is YOU like to talk about) with the bad (whatever everyone ELSE likes to talk about)! :dunno: :)
Given the prevalence of purple GS's, I'd say that they are right there in the GS mainstream, whether or not you like that fact. 8)
I generally just skip over the threads that don't look as though they'd be of interest to me. :thumb:

ok, so here's what the description says:"A place to discuss ANYTHING that deals with the Suzuki GS500."... so my logic LEDS->PURPLE->PANDY->GSTWIN->GS500 :dunno:
and my assumption was that people would read the posts by clicking "View posts since last visit", which gives you threads from all the sections anyway... guess I was wrong :roll: so point well taken but as a part of purple family now I'd have to put a request for a "Purple Family" section so that when I am in a purple mood I can go and post there :oops:

Tsk, tsk, Soaring. Just because someone owns a
PURPLE GS and would like to TALK about it doesn't mean they should take up valuable General forum space with their purple meanderings! ;)
I'm just going to interject that leds are about as useful as chrome on a sportbike.
That is all, carry on.

of course this isnt a forum for ME to read. its obviously for everyone, however the sections were created for a reason. as far as im concerned the general section is for dealing with GS related items. there are far too many threads that do NOT deal with GS's therefore should be posted somewhere else. doesnt anyone agree with me? ok ok u wanna debate to the end of time that this thread is a GS thread, whatever. im speaking in general here. whats wrong with a little organization?? why am i the devil because i mention that? and 2005-GS500-PDX, f%$king grow up. theres nothing wrong with mature conversation.
im not getting on anyone here in particular, im just trying to state the fact that things are getting messy and im sure im not the only one who gets annoyed by it.

I think we are getting there just a little more and wease will become purple with anger... and THEN purple threads will start making sense to him and he'll join the fun :)
sorry just couldn't resist :P
and the funny thing is that I was preaching the same thing as wease on another forum just a week or two ago (and I still strongly believe in keeping order) :lol: but it's just too much fun :) always liked to laugh at myself ;)
Eventually, EVERYONE comes over to the purple side....muahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have blue leds on my 04 F. It looks pretty good and a lot of people have complemented on them. 4 up in the front fairing, 2 around the battery and shock, and 2 over top of the rear tire. I mounted the switch up on the left side black plastic so it can not be seen.
At night it makes me that much more visible.
Quote from: BlazinjrAt night it makes me that much more visible.
This is exactly the reason I'd consider adding LEDs...anything to make myself more visible at night. In fact, my bf just asked me last week whether I'd wear a bright orange or yellow vest if he got me one (he's worried about my evening commute). Before I started riding at night, I would have told him he's nutz and that I don't want to look like a dufus.
But after riding in the dark a few times, I told him, "Hell, yeah! I'd wear one!" Heck...*I'll* wear the LEDs if it makes me more visible at night! :lol:
yeah just make sure that the LEDs aren't distracting to people behind you. Last thing you would want is a person in a car thinking "that is a pretty purple light under there" and then rear ending you cause they didn't see that you were braking.

Awwwww.....he cares. ;) :kiss:
yeah it just wouldn't be the same without all the PWing. :cheers: :cheers:
There are PW's here???? :?
Quote from: pandyThere are PW's here???? :?
:lol: :lol: guilty :lol:
The idea is to see the glow from the light and not the led light itself. And not to have it brighter than the turn signal or brake lights.
Here's the FZ1 I was talking about.
Semi-daytime:

I like that! :thumb:
Yeah, it looked pretty freakin' sweet. I don't know how well it would work out on the GS, though. The FZ1 at least had some (read: a hell of a lot) muscle behind it to back up the looks.
my orange vest with my old unit patches on it has gotten me out of speeding tickets. :roll: I'd like to think that it has prevented a accident though. still a worthwile investment.
I don't have any unit patches...would my old Brownie and Girl Scout patches work? :P

You'd have to shave your head and turn that hair into a beard. Then you could be super hardcore biker chick.

No way. I'd be scared as hell if I saw a chick with no hair and a beard. I'd run like stink.
