Im painting it pearl white with matching wheels soon and i thought the blue, being a more vibrant color than red IMO, would look better for the end result.

i say nay. Never liked the look of LED's used as underglow. Ive been partial to neons myself,they have a much more fluid look, less blotchy.

i agree with nauree too, shoulda done red, unless your goin for the "wat the hell, ill just choose any random color" look[&:]

Other than the two spots near the front, I think it looks sweet. I love lighting up the shock area especially.

Can't wait to paint my bike and get my hardcore LED setup on. Stupid cold weather...

Point them into the engine compartment and not the ground.

I'm not a fan of any glow on the outside of a vehicle. If you like it then go with it.

i just took some pictures of my mind install....2 mini pods and two LED strips installed...i got a red/black but i chose to to avoid any ground lighting...all my lighting is internal....right now i have the two pods underneath the tank at the rear lighting of the shock area...and two 8" strips matching the curve of the frame lighting the interior engine bay....

planning on doing the two lower holes in the fairings and maybe just beefing up the light in the rear area....man reason for avoiding the ground lighting is the coppers....although it is not definititve...they say since red is an emergency color....you can't have it visible at all from the front...meaning if you have red running on the ground or red lights facing forward....you screwed...(same goes with blue for me)....so by concentrating all the light internal...when look at it from the side it looks like my engine area and rear shock area are on fire...but from the front, you can't even tell...hopefully...lol...

either....looks good, but move the lights into the body, you'll love the look you get

Looks like a good start, but the "spots" need to be moved. You want it fluid looking.
