Yeah I bought 2 sets of LED's because I couldn't decide on the coulour and with it being almost $20 shipping to Canada I just bought both.
I think both the colours look good and if you want more a custom look the blues good and if you want a nice clean look then whites your option.
There are tons of colours to choose from also.
Here is what mine look like:

They have a nice clean blue o them but its hard for the camera to justify it.

I personally like the white. It's so clean. Blue would look good too. I went with white so if I get bored with the color of my bike and it's accents I don't have to do it again. Does your tank still have red wings on it?

I probably would have gone with white but I have the blueish HID's and Blue LED intake turn signals and I am most likely going to go with blue under lighting so thats why I picked blue.
I think redz has the red gauges somwhere in JP's thread then you can see the Blue, White and red set-ups and pick which ever one you like best since your the one going to look at it

Ya I do still have the wings on the tank, just not the stripes on the side. I was originally thinking of making the cluster red, but after seeing the white one I'm kinda leaning that way. I'm also thinking of putting a red light under the back seat to shine on the back wheel and maybe white HID lights

With the reverse glow gauges Wouldn't you would still have to swap the LED's to get it to glow the colour you want?

When I did mine on my RR I used a good tip. Use a little piece of clay to hold the LED in place during soldering...
