Can those light up Plug Boots be used all the time?

[djturnz]

I tried a couple searches, but I couldn't find any topics even mentioning these things.

JC Whitney has those spark plug boots that show a red flash for your spark. Are they just to be used for diagnosing a problem, or can they be left on for a "light show" while you ride?

I'd find another option. The few items that I could find on JC Whitney's web site that sorta meet your description. None of them are suitable for continued use on a motorcycle. Do you have a link, or picture of what you're thinking about using? If you're after a light show, there are better ways.

At least one of the reviews seem to be from a person who uses them full time.

I hadn't even looked at your link to see it's the same thing. JCWhitney has had those in their bike catalog for at least 8 years now. I remember seeing them way back when I had my first two GSs, I just never bought them. I do recall seeing blue and possible green somewhere else. Perhaps JP Cycles catalog? I don't remember now and don't have a copy.

Dennis Dirk sells them, in all different colors, and these particular ones are used for show.

I have been playing around with the idea of running a pulse detector from the ignitor line to fire a flash from the LED's, but have had no success as of yet.
