First of all nice choice of bike color! I have the Blue Pearl Metallic which is really close to your I believe.
Second, I love my lights and this is why I spent the time replacing the controller and the light strips as they go bad. I like my bike looking like a parade float yet there is a price to pay...
Ive got 16-17 extra pos/neg speaker wiring from my seat to both tires, air cleaner, cow bells, eyes in my cow bells, oil filter etc... its increduble that you cannot see any of the wiring but the wiring is there... all that wiring will cause extra density in pressure points unde ther tank and seat and will eventualy go out if you like I, go on long rides and ride often.
Sure if your bike just sits looking pretty with all the lights flashing I see no issues but with regular riding and an additional 16 to 17 wires snaking all over a moving vehicle... there will be down time service.
Thats all im preparing folk to realize. Also... when you have 50 bikes in front of you and seven hours to install them all... you will be rushing the job... I dont think bike rally's are the best place to get this job done if you are looking for quality installation where the installer takes his time.
I think I hit the terminal velocity with lights, I just dont have any more room under my seat. Too bad.

Skulls are one form of art you can apply to your ride as are flames but pinstriping in my opinion does not have a connection to the other two ...... pinstriping should be seperate to add a classic embellishment to the paintwork ...... i like what you have done to your ride less is more ........
Thanks, here is a pic from June 2009, the day I took her home... it was fun placing my personal touches. Cant think of anything more I want to do besides a custom tour pak for my Beagle Bella .
