I liked that so much I went and bought all the lights on eBay and I haven't even gotten the bike yet.

I got them all from this guy for like 20 bucks with s and h:

no if he went to a bike show they probly had the motor light up in what ever color they wanted and they probly had some that lighted up the ground .  you can go to your local bestbuy/circtcity .  circitcity has the best ones i'v seen yet . but . they have some small led kits. i'v seen a set of 3 blubs at best buy .. i should have bought them but i did not .

they were like under the bike, and on the back of the tail light. the only engines that had lights on them were the crusers (sorry if i mispelled) but it didnt look to nice because they had to much chrome.

hey you think you'd get a ticket for riding around like that at night? I'd think it'd make night time riding safer  :icon_lol:

its completely legal.  red in the back and amber in the front.  i used a red light under the tail, put an amber and red light together under the seat and 2 amber lights on either side of the engine.

That's pretty cool I kinda like that.  What about other colors like blue or purple? I know if you use anything other then red or amber for a car's lights the po are gonna come and get you.  Does the same apply here?

its not illegal, i talked to the guy at the show and the guy who was selling a kit (to much $$$) and they sayd that they are perfectly legal here.

I'm thinking I might get me one of those. Not sure, as they are $80, but it'd be cool to wire it up to a little switch and switch it on at night.

Naah. $23 for only 6 LEDs? The other one I posted gives you 4 strips with 15 LEDs per strip. That's 60 LEDs for $80 compared to 6 for $25 (ish).

in PA its very illegal.  make sure u check with the books and not some guy at a show.  the reason i can get away with it is because it follows the lighting code.  red in the back, amber up front.

Post by: joedude on April 03, 2006, 07:29:26 PM
If you're worried about the 50 pulling you over and you just want the lights for show, then instead of having them on all the time, wire them to a switch and turn them off when you're ridingĀ  :dunno_white:

My GS is red, so I think I'm gonna try the red to amber thing too O0

looks cool dudeĀ  :thumb:
