Default LED Lighting

Is the LED type of lighting that mounts under the tank and fenders cheesey looking?

I was thinking about it myself once I finish getting all of my chrome installed. Depends on the bike too I think. Up to you.

Not my style, I usually don't draw attention to my parked bike, mostly because I don't want it to walk away while I'm in the bar. I've seen some that looked good with the lighting and thought it was cool. Others though...[:'(]

If YOU like it on your bike, then it ain't "cheesey". I have the Kuryakyn spider lights on my Ultra. BIG mistake! A lot of money for a sheity product. Might be why they are now discontinuing them. I'll put something else on after the rest of these fall apart, and off the bike.

I would like to put some on the wife's Deluxe, after we get her custom paint set on. It's burst blue with tribal flame. The flames are white/silver/gold. I thought white lights that will alternate the flash (not flash all together) would make it look light lightning.

My Wife has a flaming horn cover on her SEFB with orange lights inside it...Looks good on hers. So she had me add some more under the tank, seat, and behind the mounting plate for the fuel injection.....

Thanks for the responses. I think the pinball machine comment was the deciding factor for me. Besides, I'm sure I can findmore practical thingsto add to my ride. I have problems with my hands getting cold sooner than most people (actual medical condition) might be looking at heated hand grips instead.
