BubbleGutz, Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a nice place to get lights from. I haven't gotten them yet but will soon. Went to Arizona bike week last weekend and the 3 different places there wanted at least 275 to do my bike, needless to say I didn't get them there.

The only thing I would recommend to you is to check your state laws about color use. I know that in NC if you have blue or red lights (not for brake or turn sig use) on your bike you can get a ticket for using emergency colors, even if the bike is just parked. I had a friend get a ticket for it when he parked his bike in front of a night club managed in Raleigh a few years back.

you guys may want to sit down for this one... 275 is crazy cheap for LED ligting... i charge 500 - 700 depending on what needs to be done,. a full bike takes me 8 hours to wire up... i hate when you can see the lights on a bike you should only see the light the pod cases not the pod itself... so i cut and solder allthe wires so that you do not have a rats nest under the tins... each light is hand placed... i have 3 coming i this week to be done... qualty takes time and cost a bit more but it really shows in the final product...
here is a vid of mine i just finished and a link to our website for some of the pics of the other bikes i have done... just take your time when doing it, possition each light to get the most out of it!

near the end of the vid i light up the bike to show the leds... ill snap a pic outside for you when done

Hey otter no problem.

I agree with jrk5892 275 is crazy cheap but makes you wonder if its cheaply installed or cheaper products. I dunno for sure. But like he stated if you do it your self take your time and clean up any loose ends. to keep it looking sharp.

JRK5892 what type of leds do you use they look really bright n I like bright. Oh by the way your bike looks sick in that video man Huge thumbs up

I have Joe Florida lights as well. Best bang for your buck. Brighter than Kuryakyn pods, and cheaper. And he has no bull no questions warranty . Got a problem, he'll fix it. I installed my set in under an hour. Bunch of videos in youtube.

There was a rumor going around awhile back that if you installed red or blue led lights - decorative lights mind you - that you were likely to get pulled over by LEO's. Some were saying they would ticket you because you could be mistaken for a cop bike.

I thought it was more like red and blue were their gang colors or something like that.

Anyway, I don't know if ANY of this is true or not.

I have never known anyone to get pulled over for it. I would go with red, obviously.

PS - NO JOE! i am at least two annual bonuses away from a cosmetic thing like that! LOL
