I've a Bro who loves his. He has them in a few positions around the engine, under the tanks, etc...

He can switch sets he wants on or off at any certain time.

I gotta say, rolling next to him on a 75MPH freeway and seeing his mill aglow.... Nice.

In a word........no! I wouldn't put them on my bike, but I know someone who has them on his and he likes it.

I plan to light the whole MF'er up, just as soon as I find the flashing red light(70's undercover cop style) to mount to my helmet. I have a lot of other things that need to be bought for the bike, like paint job, fork extensions, Progressives, and running lights. I think those lights are cheesy, but I'm pretty weird myself, so don't go patterning yourself after me ;-)

google: "joe florida led lights". I have gotten lights from him for my snowmobiles and my Gator. Weatherproof and not very expensive.

they're illegal to have on while you're rolling in Ohio. if you could use them at night while riding, I might consider some just to be seen better

Also would you say the advanced kit is needed? or is this beginner kit fine?

or is it the same thing to tape up those $20 lights i linked in my last post haha
Yeah, you can manually change the colors. There's also a flash/blink setting from a slow roll to strobe. Like I said, I pretty much leave them on solid red.

I think I got a starter kit & then some extras. That's what was cool about them - buy what you can afford & then easily add more later.

Default ohio lights?

Hey Schumacher, didn't know they were illegal in ohio for bikes. I knew you could have your dome lights on in your cage driving at night.
