Looks great! I've seen a few set ups that looked a little over the top, but I like the way you've done the LED's.

I have to agree with you about the over the top LED installs. This is probably why I was reluctant to install these to begin with but in the end, I was real happy with the results. I think it has to do with the correct number of LEDs and where you place/hide them.

Some at the back behind the saddle bags shining down would be awesome to, looks like it would be easy to mount so that you could still take the bags off. Last time I went to the Cherokee fall rally there was a tent set up installing them...stayed busy all weekend! lol! Must not draw any power to speak of at the Field of Steel they held the one and only year, people left them on for hours on parked bikes and would come back and start them right up!

I actually have two strips under the rear fender but you can't really see the lights at the bottom of the wheel with the bags on. ....so I think I am going to relocate the rear wheel LEDs to the inner swing arm or the inner bottom of the bag support bars.

looks great....i was just reading the mounting instructions...they were saying to mount the lower ones ( ground effect ) to the bottom of the frame looking down.....when putting my bike on the lift , seems like it would crush them ? what did you guys do ?

Looks good !! Florida Joe must have some good lights. Most important thing is to start with GOOD LIGHTS. Mine are made by swint.

If they ain't bright, they ain't right !!
