Default How NOT to install LED's on a motorcycle

Of course it is a Gixxer....

He told me this is the best way to install LED's on a motorcycle and none of the strips should be hidden because it ruins the light output.

All I could do was shake my head.....

His photo tag:

Hotboydj Al: people have so many styles my style its different from other but my style is hot cuz when i ride everyone looks at me and my bike .... and its good for cars to see you and i have leds in and out the bike the hiding glow is played out already i had it for 2 years and it got boring no attention at all now that i put strips outside the bike everybody loves it

My response:

Me: Too each their own, I'm sure everyone would look at me too if I rode around in a Gorilla suit but just because they're looking doesn't mean its cool lol. Its all good, But your right, It will definitely get the most attention (Good and bad) in those coffee shop parking lots.

Well he kinda has a point. Gixxers are played out. I barely notice them. Kinda like a self-defense mechanism.

If I looked at every GSXr on the road, I'd never see anything else out there

I look at every gsxr, to see what kind bike it is; once I realize what it is I stop caring though.

awww, are you still mad that I gave my opinion that your "fighter" (and majority of others) looked like a cheap fix to a dumped bike??

My LED's are all hidden so you can only see the emitting light where his are just plastered on the outside very sloppy.

Its ok though, As I would much rather drive my christmas tree bike then a so called "fighter" (because your to cheap replace your fairings).

HAHA- agreed! That bike looks like a rolling neon sign! I also agree with "to each his own" I love my LEDs and it's not for everyone but let's use some common sense and maybe... discretion?
