I have red LEDs under the seat to project onto the rear wheel and reflects off the exhausts (only when they are clean and shiny).
It only comes on when I pull the brakes, acting as an additional brake lights visible from the sides of the bike.

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... :wink:

I didnt think bright orange stace-rotic leathers gave you HP or reduce laptimes either!!!
If you ever decided to venture to the track, you would know that full leathers are a requirement, not an optional extra....
The colour choice is then yours and it doesn't cost extra to get orange... :shock:
Therefore without my orange leathers my lap times would be greatly increased (to the point of not being possible to complete 1)....

Not much different to helmets really, you gotta have one anyway...

but Duane, you spend ya bucks on Neons instead mate, I'm sure you'll enjoy them.


On your pushie.... :D

Ive been looking at a few photos, and Ive come to the conclusion, that im going to put neons on, but im not going to drive with them on (that was never my intention in the first place) and probably just put 2 green ones somewhere secluded.

There was a guy on ebay that sold them for bikes, and you could change colours, and the way they blinked ect.
