Title: Brightening my ride...
Post by: Beemersworld on July 14, 2013, 10:03:59 PM
Just thought of adding some LED strips.  I think it looks cool and maybe people will notice me at night a little better...   What do you guys think?

Looks cool dude! I think you'll definitely stand out more to other drivers.  8)

 Hate to be a negative nancy, but check your local laws regarding aftermarket lighting on vehicles. Wouldn't want to get hit with a ticket.

I would tend to doubt there would be any legislation against white lights on the front. Red on front or white on rear, typically outlawed everywhere though. :nono:

Looks great! Close ups of actual installation to go with the lit up shot?

+1the more light the better. the wife commented my bike looked like a pencil on the interstate the other night. "you need more lights!" were her exact words.

so I'm looking into an sv650 taillight or a wr250 tail. plenty of light there.
