Has anyone here had any experience putting neons on their bike? If you have if you could tell me a bit about it and what needs to be done that would be cool, Thanks

I used to (back in my stupid days) have neons under the pillion seat (above the rear wheel) on a spada two fiddy
If you just buy some 12 volt ones from autobarn, any will do (generally the ones that go into a ciggie lighter is best, cut the connection off and wire the positive and negative to the brake light (always on)
Otherwise, Just buy a switch and run it off the brake light again, or direct to battery

Well the 12 volts seem the way to go then. I dont think its illegal to have them on the bike, just illegal to have them on.

Rob why do want to attract attention to yourself With Blue Neons. The Cops would love to pull you over & find one or two things wrong with your bike or the way you where riding.. LED lights might be the way to go ( Not Blue or Red)...thats what the Police use..

Maybe GREEN for Kawasaki...

hmmm Neons ah..??
Nope, I don't believe they will improve the handling, give you any extra HP or reduce your lap times so I'd give em a miss...
