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...

debateable...if we are talking "seat of the pants" dyno that is

Oh ohhhh I can feel a ZX12 Pimpmobile coming on

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...
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....

RG I'd prob ride/drive off the side of the road pissin myself larfin if I saw that type of light show...

Photomike has little skulls (i think) with leds on side of his hooonda, don't know what it's like at night but... If God had wanted led's on KWAKAS he wouldn't have invented Hoondas.

HE Did

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.

What are they gonna say ?

*Diner* or *24 hour service* seem popular.

Now I know why people keep pulling over when they see my bike...hmm...

Then again I'm sure you have seen my bike with the LEDs on.

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

anyway u look at it..neons on a bike are gay...especially if there pink..or "scarlet" the pack said greeny??

just warning the young folk to watch out for "scarlet" ...
