i light 'em Up all the time, actually that is a portion of our company hahahaha, trick is to test light placement before you mount them, you want the effects of the light to be seen but not the actual light itself... SOLDER all your connections and SHRINK wrap them!

A standard 9v battery will let you test light placement and spread. typically a full bike kit for us to light up takes 5-8 hours of wiring start to finish... so take your time do it right, this way it will always work out great! let me know if you have any questions at all

Hell ya!

here is mine


some of the other bikes i have lit up

Wow, nice looking bikes... yeah I got amber lights off ebay they are strip 12 volt made for bikes.... with stickum to attach to bottom of tank... debating if that was such a good idea, but finding it hard to find any lighting kits for my bike...

Nice lighting work, Joe. Does the fuzz around there give you any grief running lights on yours?

I have been pulled over 3 times... 1 time the guy asked me to shut them off (i will add that i was riding with 3 sport bikes all lit up in blue and 2 of them had strobes under their bikes as well) , the other 2 the officers brought their bikes into the shop to be done... that is the white M109 and the first blue sport bike hahahaha, unless your running blue around here they do not care at all... least from what i have noticed... on my daily rider i ran amber...not because it looks cool but because it is 100% legal in all states and it allows me to be seen much much better... i ride back roads home and to the shop, sometimes really late at night, i want to be seen as much as possible



even looks pretty cool in the day

I had them on my old bike and I liked them. But... whenever I took it in to get serviced, they always got screwed up (broken wires, etc) so I got tired of the hassle and took them off.
