+1 if you are running with stock lights up front...most of us have the clear or leds up front so box #2 would be my choice

LED last for ever... well, it'll out last the bike. I like the blueish light much better than the yellow cheap flashlight looking bulb.

I'm sorry... incandescent is normally yellowish light unless corrected. I assumed that was common knowledge. The top pic is stock flashlight bulb and the bottom is LED white light.

First post... welcome to the boards. I used pin striping tape from a body shop. One of my friends is an paint/body guy from the past... and he did the work. I didn't think the tape would take that long and was using it as a test before I had it airbrushed/hand painted. If I didn't like it... I could just peel it off. But 6 hours later, he was finished, I love it, it looks great, I get tons of compliments on it from group rides, ... and I don't have the heart to throw away his 6 hours of labor and have it painted. The tape is on there well... it's not going anywhere. Thanks for the compliment.

For got to mention, if you look at my gallery you'll see better pics and the guy who did the work, while he's doing it.
