The Wife and I were In Austin at the Republic Of Texas Rally a few weeks ago. We saw a lot of Bikes with the LED Lights. The are flashy and are an Eye catcher. Now my Wife wants me to have some put on My FXSTSSE. I have never thought about this before and have mixed feelings on it. What are your thoughts ?

I've seen some "tastefully" done that enhance the bike. I'd check w/local and state laws before getting some (they are illegal here). If "Momma" (wife) likes and wants them... get them and use that to your advantage next time "you" want to get something for your bike.

 
Ride Safe,

Can't say I like them.
Reminds me of something you see at the circus.

Different strokes for different folks I guess

when not over done they can bring a good highlight to some bikes

I have to assume you are talking about LED lights around the engine area.  I've seen some that look good and others that look tacky.  It's a personal taste thing.  If you don't like them and depending on how savvy your wife is, tell her that you would need a bigger battery and a different voltage regulator and a few other things and that it will end up costing well over $1000 to install them.  She won't want them anymore.

Ghay.

LED lights for turn signals, running lights, auxillary lights, fine.  LED lights for lighting up chrome or to shine on the ground underneath - pure 100% undeniably and entirely RICE!  Oh, and gay.  I bought a set of flashing ones that screw onto the valve stems and light up when the bike moves.  I put them on my friend's bikes just to bug them.  Stupid, poser accessory IMO.

Hey JC, you going to address this one?

What's to address?  


I will say that a majority of the Nor Cal group have them.  Didn't you get them when Mel did, Roger?

No, not gay that I know of  , However circus's have always seemed appealing. May have to order me up some red ones to match the bike 
it's at Jim's anyway getting a new Pro Clutch and starter clutch.

I think they look good when done right, and with restraint.

I have them on my Black with blue Flame fatboy.  They are blue LED's and bring out the blue flames nicely at night.  They also highlight the pipes and rocker covers.

I have been thinking of adding some to my SERG

Take a look at my signature line and watch the Road Glide pictures.  

If they don't see me with all of those LEDs, then we're all in trouble.

I don't know, do those lights make the bike run any better? (no)  How about making the bike ride any better? (no)  Do they get you in trouble with the law in certain states and localities? (yes)  Do they remind me of the Willy G. school of "screw function, as long as it looks good"? (yes)  Do you plan to fire them up with the bike in a dark garage while you sit around with some friends in some lawn chairs with a cold one admiring the glow (from the lights, not the beer)?  If so, don't forget to charge the battery when you're done.

Not my cup of tea, but for those who are into show I guess they're OK.  At least I don't find them as distracting as those friggin' neon tubes under the tuner cars that seem so popular with the kids.

They float my boat.  Much better than obnoxious power-robbing drag pipes in my humble opinion.  And what good are these scooters if you can't have fun with 'um in a ostentatious way anyhoo?  har!  spyder

Let's hear it for ostentatiousness.  Woo-hoo!
