StreetGLow \ StreetFX \ Ground Effects Ideas for 07 RR
Hey all,
Longtime modder here, finally upgrading from the ol' F3 to an 07 RR! Unfortunately, I bought it dead stock (for a steal), so I've got a lot of work to do. I'm looking to add ground effects lights, similar to my old bike:
Problem is, the layout of everythign on this bike is vastly different, right down to the frame. The biggest problem is that HOT exhaust, that you really can't stick any lights to.
Looking for some ideas here. Post your pics!

its extremely easy....it 2 wires and a switch.....or just 2 wires if you tap into 12v from the fusebox that only comes on with the ignition... the only thing hard is making them look nicely installed and all that takes is a little extra time and care when putting em in. i had an s10 that when i finnaly sold it had 98 neon tubes and 67 sets of strobes connected to a midnite box(light controller). if i had to redo that (all at 1 time) i'de prob shoot myself instead. but if you can change a lightbulb then you can put an underglow on your bike.

Wiring it is easy. Making it not look like a little kid installed it is another story. There is a very, very fine line between "cool" and "tacky" with these. Also, you're running a loooot of wires ALL OVER the bike, and you have to make sure you hide them all. The end result should be "where the hell is that light coming from?" Get some tiny cable clips and high-heat double-sided tape and mount them wherever you need them:

I just ordered a bunch of various LED strips and pods and stuff for my '07. Really having trouble figuring out what I'm going to do. It'd be easier if I had an undertail kit to mount some on, but nobody makes one for the 07 600RR.

They have some stuff that sounds pretty good and it looks fairly simple to set up.
Im majorly ocd about my bike too so i would make it look flawless. lol
Thanks for the help. You bike looks awesome. I like how the light is evenly spread with no major focus points.
