you got some tips on it, or maybe some directions. I was thinking about trying this out next year. A buddy has all red, but they aren't near as bright.

Ok tips...from I can tell..whatever lights you put on..you can't be allowed to see them. A Gixxer has alot of black towards the bottom so I had to double up on whatever I put there. Neon is the most common..but it can burn your battery in a few hours..I figure about 3. So I used LED lights that I figure the battery can last 36 hours. The light strips I put on with 3M tape. The same that is used to put markings on cars for the manufacturer logos. Whereever there is an open spot..I put a strip of lights. So lights on any open portion of the fairing, one each on the back rear pannel on the sides..one up under so it would light up the rear shock, and two sets of lights behind the front wheel. A total of 2 strips of lights per side on the lower fairing. Connected to the batter with a fuse of course..and the remote is found under the back cowl or seat. There's a total of 280 LED lights. Last the choice of the LED lights compared to Neon was that I could bend the lights inside the fairings.

After all this..my first mod was going to be an Iridium Windshield but they're still not ready for the Gixxer 04 750. The total cost for wiring, lights, remote comes to about 400 dollars and took about 4 hours to put on.

Adjust the brightness no. I wanted to bike to really be lite up.

The kits..I found a company called No Magic Neon for the lighting.

they are all over ebay, but that many sounds like overkill. Don't get me wrong it looks sick, it just seems like an awful lot. A guy a ride with has his cbr lit, but he only used about 20 and it looks good, just not as bright as yours.

Bet that looks awesome going down the road man!! 8)
Wonder how the local law enforcement type people would feel if they saw that screaming by at 45mph at night?? They seem to be very touchy about not displaying blue or red lights on a vehicale other then a law enforcement type vehicale.

the cops around here in vegas are pretty laid back about it.. i asked one and he said as long as the light doesnt extend on the ground for more than like 75 feet then all is good... might be different in other places though

who did you go through for that K&N filter. My shop is having issues with K&N actually getting them to distributors.
