Default here comes a dumb question(removed the lights) :)

I have a dyna low rider with a 120R engine with lots of chrome! Shop put LED's under my gas tanks from the front under tank to near the end of the tank. Then they put led strips on the fender braces that the sissy bar mounts to. The right chromed side lit up over the front of the motor. The middle on both sides was dark and blank then the strip lights on the rear braces lit up that area. Does anyone have led's on their bike? Are they worth it. The left side was dull because there is little chrome compared to the right side. My bike is loaded with chrome but the left is chromed only on the gear cases and chain guard and axle covers. But the middle of both sides of bike was blank and dark. It led's worth it? If so where is the best led strip placement . I figure I need strip under front of tank then I need strips in middle of tank to seat front then the ones on the fender braces or sissy bar mounts is either way! Thoughts! Or is LED lights sissified as my son says they are. My bike is the superior blue and they look nice but need to fill in the middle of bike gaps!

They're about as LBGT as you can get.

I dunno, sometimes it works. If I was going to I'd probably stick with white LEDs.

This is fenderzigs from here

They are lamer than a get-back whip. If that is possible. Let me guess, you have both.

I don't like them. But it's your bike. Do whatever you want.
If it annoys your son, that's a bonus. How many years did he annoy you?
