LED's on your bike
« on: June 12, 2008, 12:18:16 PM »

I'm curious to know what everyone's opinion is about LED's on your bike. A couple of buddies of mine just laid down $700.00 a piece for a complete set of lights last weekend at the state Hog rally. I like the look on some bikes but then again I look at other bikes and it reminds me of the "Goldwing parade of lights at Americade". What do all of you think? Do you think it's overkill or does it really bring out the details of the bike?

Except for replacing turn signal and tail light bulbs - Never. Never. Never.  Just plain goofy.  Seems to be largely the same people who drive a Civic with a fart-can muffler stuck on the back.

I had LED's on a Road Glide I had and found I never used them . I am very seldom out at night so they show up to well during the day. :-*

 :nixweiss:  My wife thinks they are cool.  I have seen a few bikes that I thought they looked good on, but they are not for me.  I think some folks get carried away with putting stuff on their bikes - just for the sake of putting more stuff on.....I refer to them as "Gypsy Wagons".

If you like them, go for it.  Myself, I have other things to do with my $$$ (wifey is not winning on this one)

Got 'em, love 'em, doesn't look anything like a GW.   :confused5:

Didn't spend anywhere near $700.00.  Less than a third of that.

I've got em on my bike and I think they look sweet. Was on the fence about getting them, but had a bunch of gift cert. for HD and couldn't think of anything else. Someday when I'm bored and its dark out I'll post a pic.

Thats a personal choice. I've seen some HD's that look pretty good, others in my opinion overkill. Hey,  but if you like it don't  be concerned about what others think. THE MUFFMAN

I have an LED strip across the tube under the rear of my tour pak.  It is a running light and a brake light.  Being seen is precisely why I added it.   Loud pipes and lights!  :2vrolijk_21:

After damn near getting my ass run-over at Daytona at night, I put them on my  :pumpkin: and would never ride at night without them. They make a big differance in the dark, but, I did not get the pulsating style. A little too much bling for me.

Have on the red bike and I'm a lot more visible at night.  On the fence about putting them on the pumpkin though.  As for $700, that's WAY too much.  You can have them done quite well for $200-$250.
