LED Lighting for Engine and both wheels
I've seen a million types of LED lighting on Ebay and other various sites. I've read reviews and some people have issues with the lights not cutting off when the bike goes out or the brightness of the lights. I'd like to hear anyone who love their LED lights to light up their engine and both wheels. What brand do you prefer? Do you have any links?
Pics please!

I have to dig for a link. I put a set on a friend's bike. he bought the lights and brought them to me. They were actually really good. Many color options and different color change and flashing patterns. What was really cool with these is that there is a wire to tie into the brake lights so that the LED all turn solid red when you hit the brakes. The light strips can be trimmed if needed. I ended up going to amazon to order a pack of extensions for a couple of the lights. The extensions are cheap and plug right in.
The downside of the kits that you buy come with two sided adhesive and it SUCKS. Go to a parts store and buy a roll of good 3M adhesive tape. You'll thank me later.
Here are 2 links that look to be the same as what he bought.

Last question did you use the smaller strips for the wheels? Where did you mount on the wheels?
These are hard wired so nothing on the wheels. His was a RoadKing. I mounted on bottom of tank, frame rails under bike, frame down tubes behind side covers. Up under rear fender, under rear light bar, on the forward frame downtubes to point sort of inward and forward on the frame, on the inside of the front fender just below the roadking lettering (these are really thin and worked great) and one on the frame by the exhaust crossover
The ones on the wheels shocked me. I didn't think they would fit but they went in like a dream on the inside of the fender.

We have several different kits you can get to light up your engine and wheels. If you prefer single-color lights, I would check out our MagicFlex2 kits. If you would like color-changing lights, check out the Magical Wizards kits. Our CCM-6BT bluetooth remote for our Magical Wizards kits actually has a timer built in, so that the lights will automatically shut off after a set period that you choose.
All of our accent lights are backed with 3M adhesive tape, and are usually adhered under the gas tank, underneath the frame, and to the front brake caliper. You can see an installation video below.
We have a lifetime warranty on the LEDs, and a 3-year warranty on the remote. If you have any other questions, just let me know!

First of all your bike is amazing my friend! I love the paint job. Which XKGlow kit did you use? I see they have 6 pod to 10 pod. Where did you mount your front wheel lights?

Currently the mounting position are:
- Front fender: 3 pods underneath (all on the left side with wiring running with brake cable)
- Voltage regulator: 1 small strip inside it
- Frame rails: 2 long strips underneath mounted more inwards so they dont get crushed when on a lift
- Horn: 1 pod inside cover
- Air intake: 1 pod underneath
- Fuel tank: 4 pods underneath (2 each side)
- Footboard: 1 pod under each
- Oil tank: 1 pod underneath towards the front
- Rear fender: 4 pods underneath (2 each side)
I think thats all of them. All wiring hidden.
