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.

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.

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)

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:

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:

Post by: natedawg120 on November 06, 2005, 04:13:04 PM
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.

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.
