    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Wrong forum...I hope.
Why wouldn't that come under "appearance"? :-k

It's certainly not carbs or suspension.

If you look at the picture in my sig of my wife's 850L, you can almost see the lights on the lower edge of the tank.

Here is what they look like when not drowned out by sunlight.

As soon as I can figure out a way to get it mounted on the bike, I'm THERE. Someone did suggest a 'Misty Mountin' Way'....

The winds of change are blowing.....

I'm sure it upset Henry Ford when they started painting cars in colors other than black.

I'm thinking through how I am going to incorporate some lights on my bike. I want to hide them. Probably run them around the inside of the tank seam. I'm thinking of going with white lights instead of a color.

We'll see. Still have to decide on paint.

I don't much care for lights accenting my bike, but this will accent the crap out of the road.

Looks dumb & a waste of $. But hey, some guys wear mullets. Still looks dumb:hand:
 
this stick-on strip of leds comes on with my brake light. it's actually pretty bright and cost about five bucks.

OK, finally went through some pictures on my home computer and found some from my "playing around" last summer.

If you look closely, you can see the LEDs. (not gonna brag about the cost)
The ones around the license plate are obvious, the subtle ones are on the back of the reflectors on the saddlebags. :D

Here is a close-up of the license plate frame.

Here is what it looks like in daylight.

And at night. Sorry about the blue lines, the LEDs are bright enough to overpower the camera. :oops:

Had a set 6 led on one small block and 6 led on the other block, they were blue and i felt like a cop so i took them off, i attached them with velcro tape. They were nice in that they ran off the same switch and if they were just lights without color i would have kept them as its nice to have low power consumption lights if broke down on side of road. Would make a good safety feature if on bottom and top of bike and a switch that comes on when bikes laying on side in case knocked out in crash at night.
More visibility!!!
 
Done tastefully LEDs can be fine. Got to be careful not to end up looking like one of those overly lit up 18-wheelers though. Or worse, one of those Dekotora trucks in Japan. ;)

Sure people can see you...
