They've had those out for 5 years now...

I've seen them on display at a bunch of dealers, but never seen any on a bike....

That with a strobe, some fake fog/smoke and a mirror ball for some bubbles, I will hook up my disco music and I am all in.

I don't get why lights on the floorboards, you can't see them with your feet on the boards riding down the road.

According to the description, they only light up when the ignition is on ACC.

Holy Christmas tree batman. Those should be a hot with all the dudes that hang out at Swinging Richards Bar and drink umbrella drinks all day. Those floorboards remind me of all these old men who spend a fortune decking out there pickup trucks with a bunch of hidious **** only to make the truck look terrible becouse they have no idea what looks good.

Those aren't new....and like someone else said---I've only seen them on display in dealerships. Ray Price in Raleigh, to be exact.

So, as opposed to fringes hanging from everything, ape hangers too high to reach, big front wheels & extended bags to exert your manliness, people are calling these excessive. If you don't like them, don't want them or need them, no need to put down the guy that does, and call in a round about way, call him gay. I thought the members of this forum were above that.
