Not sure why either. Looks more like a Honda when folks add the accent lights.

Nice looking bike OP. That color looks great with the black you added here and there.

Heres a simple solution. get one that has multiple colors and that fade in between colors. I got one on my old bike with a remote control to change the colors and speed that they flash and fade or strobe or stay solid if I choose too have just one color, then you can try all the colors and pick the one you like best. Got mine from amazon but dont remember which ones I got now. They were like 50 bucks shipped tho and its been two years no issues. Cops or otherwise.

They are all illegal in Virginia, regardless of color. Check your state's laws.

Yep; beautiful bike "Houston".
I think with your color scheme, a black light would be cool...

So your bike looks cool parked at bike night or a bar or beer tent

Cool Blue
I have blue LED accents on mine. Looks great IMHO with the two-tone black and blue.
