Default Do you use LED accent lighting

I was wondering how many of you are putting the LED lights on your bike? I put some blue ones on my Fatboy with a switch that allows constant on, or flashing (strobe) with a reostat to control the flash speed. I think they are awesome, the LEDs reflect off the chrome and everything glows blue, I get a lot more attention at night now. This was a spur of the moment decision, theyweren't cheap, but I'm glad I got them.

I see them all the time at a local bike night in my town and normally the guys that have them end up winning the trophies for best bike.

I thought about it but decided there are too many things I need to add before lights. Also, they are illegal to run with them in Florida unless they are white, so the only time they would be on would be when my bike is sitting in a parking lot atnight.

Eventually, I want to add an led strip to the tourpack. I think custom dynamics has one that is a multi light thing....running, brake and turnsignal. Pricey tho, if I read it right....like $167.00

Yup,

On my WideGlide and wife's Nightrain. EFX 3 million color fade mode. Can select red, green, amber, blueor white. Or any combinations flashing, strobing, and adjustable speed. All from a remote control. About a hundred bucks at most big bike shows. Have left them on for 4 days and didn't wear down the battery.

No thanks, too much for me. The look is interesting but just not my thing.

I'll see xxxflhrci and raise him one. Hell no. And my car doesn't have hydraulics that make it jump up and down, either. [:'(]
