What do you guys think about this, will definately make the bike more visible at night on the road?  I am thinking about investing in these and buying some but not sure if this is a good idea.  Need some opinions.  Please advice.  Its about $80 on ebay

ummm. i think its a bit ghey but thats just me. if you like that sort of think then sweet go for it,
do you really do that much night riding?? that you will get your moneys worth out of that setup?

maybe you are right I don't do that much of night driving but I plan to and I figured it would be a good safety thing.  I think the picture over does the lights a little.

lol. yeah a bit aye, if your looking for safty mabee you could get one of those modulator thingys that some of the guys have got.

Probably illegal.  Check your local laws.

+1... most states require that any sort of underlighting be white or purple, so you may get away with that. Florida allows both, so long as the bulbs are not visible. Check with the local police before you drop any $$

Everyone knows that wider turn signals are safer because it spreads the lights out more.  So if you install that you will have the safest bike out there.

Check your state laws on what colors you can use in Ga we cannot use blue or red but anyother color is fine ( but I would not use green if I were you ).  Also do a google search for neon motorycycle lights you might find something that is better and cheaper.

I do think it could look nice as long as you don't over do it.  And I didn't read the link to the item but you can get thoes with cut off switches also.

If its for saftey USE green.... Green is the color our eyes our most sensitive to.  Thats why night vision goggles are all green.

Green means go .. and cagers who are talking on an cell phone or singing along not paying but the least bit of attention will probally run you over thinking your a green light.

The green filter that you are seeing through helps with the nightvision. . . the night vision equipment itself does not emit any light.  It takes what light there is available and enhances it.  At least that's my understanding.

Actually, yellow is the color our eyes are most sensitive to. Or at least the part of the spectrum with the most usable light for our eyse. That's why headlights that are yellow are better than headlights that are blue.

Just something I read a long, long time ago.. so I could be wrong... in fact, I probably am..

The military uses green in night vision goggles because it has a lower impact on your retention of night vision (i.e., it makes your pupils constrict less than yellow or red lights)...

Well thats what I saw on the discovery channel. 

But you know those liberal media science type./... always speading propaganda

If safety is your main concern, may I suggest a helmet for starters?

I have one smart aleck, this was in a parking lot.

If your bike is moving, you should wear a helmet (even in a parking lot).  There's a school of thought that if you're sitting on it, you should have your helmet, for the high probably it will start moving.   You can get hurt at any speed.

That said, I did dumbass stuff like that too, when I was just getting started.  And I was lucky that I didn't whack my head on the pavement botching up a 5mph U-Turn.  You can get hurt at any speed.

You're going to get a lot of grief for that avatar for years to come if you don't change it, so I'd either get rid of it, or get ready to ignore thousands of smart alecky comments. 

I just about ate it in a parking lot not wearing gear.  It can definitely happen.

Ok ok......let's stop the grief, I will wear a helmet like a good boy and change the avatar What would I do without such great advices!

At the MSF course they tell you that most accidents are slow manuver's  ( I can't spell ) done in parking lots.
Oh but back on topic if you get a led kit you gotta post some pic's I would like to see how they turned out!

and sorry posted this right after you posted yours

Yea, I think I am going to get one just to see how it looks.  I don't think I will over do it as much as that picture, but probably put some lights enough to be legal, stylish and safe. If it looks bad, then I will just take it off, will definately put some pics up.

more lights just makes it for thiefs a cooler bike to steal. Someones gsx got stolen from the college i atend to last week. im know currently investing on a jumbo lock/anchor to make sure my gs dosent go any were
