I just got my '01 F4i two weeks ago and I have been shopping for frame sliders. I was most interested in the Diamond Powersports because of their prices. While shopping of course I found some real gay light up red ones (my bike is the White and Red), and out of their online store they cost 130, which is way too much for sliders. But while I was on E-bay I ran across the same ones for 25 dollars shipping included. I couldn't pass it up.

Now my question is: 1. How gay are these? 2. Should I wire them to my blinkers, tail lights, break lights or electric toaster?

If it is a group agreement that they are gay and should be burned I wont put them on but I will sell em. I want to give em a chance.

Tell me what u think.

 

too me, anything that makes your bike more visible at night is a good thing

 

Gay.

Also, I have found it is best to see what the sliders are made of. If they are too hard (like those will be) they tend to cause the bike to flip and tumble.

Oh yeah, just another vote for gay.

I would go black or red sliders. Check out the Vortex ones.

 

honestly... i think it's gay. it looks ricey. you might as well put the led washers from a car shop and put those all over you bike. lol.

but yeah... like i tell most ppl... be very careful on how you use lights and carbon fiber. too much... and it looks very ricey.

with those light up sliders... you could probably pick up 16 year old girls... u gotta get better stuff to move up to the 18 and up.

 

rofl. Yea they are red without the lights also, so I am thinking I will just not plug em in. They should look fine as long as I dont wire em.

 

I just put on a set of Vortex. Can't go wrong with those. The install was simple.

 

gay and ricey

 

I think Vortex is the ONLY way to go! Ultimately the idea is to spare you plastic and many othermanufacturers are just plain inferior!

 

Gay-
Kind of like showing off pretty lights inside a computer.

 

What I think:
1) Those 2 questions says you're not sure yourself
2) I do it, but only if it matches the theme of the bike (ie. lightbright, Circus Circus light show, etc)
3) Choose the color carefully (Ooops already got red....the international symbol for STOP)
4) You SHOULD strive to be different. The bike isn't really yours until you customize it.
