The photos are slightly brighter than in person, and the headlights don't quite have that much glare to them. But the side vents are definitely bright. The light output goes right on the fairing without anything blocking it.

Nice work as usual Aken.
I tried to do some lighting on my bike with the LED Modules from Oznium and was not pleased with the result at all. I still have a dozen of them just sitting in my garage. So far the best light output I have is from CCTs but they are notorious for shorting out so they arent happening. I may have to order a couple of strips and see if I get a better result.

Yeah, CCTs aren't really best on a motorcycle, either. Too much vibration.
Which LED module did you get? There are a few types of modules now. If it's the smaller, chrome ones then yeah I can see how they'd be a little less output than you'd like. They're nice for certain applications.
I'm real happy with the flexible strips. Plus there are some new styles, including some REALLY flat ones for those hard spaces where you really don't want them to be seen. Just poke around

All of the work you've performed on that bike has all been very tastefully executed, and not at all overdone. I typically don’t care for lights like that, but the way you’ve been able to pull it off on your bike looks really awesome and very clean, nice job.

Cool mod!
I don't want to do the Audi-style lights. They're done too often these days. The turn signal is a cool idea, however I think that might go a little unnoticed depending on how it was mounted / how bright it is.
I think if anything, I would do a turn signal up against the right/left-most side, and have it stop at the curve. But that also entails taking apart my minty headlight, which I don't really want to do. (Can do easily, just don't want to.)
