Default Led strip lights

ok, first off, how do you guys feel about adding led lighting to your bike? im talking about strip lights accenting the bike not the turn signals etc.

secondly has anyone here done it?

here is a pic of my bike, i was thinking about doing 4-6 24" led strips placed under the front and tail fairing, along the bottom, the sides places like that.

i was going to do green to match the bike plus red, blue, and white are illegal in oklahoma.

so you guys are thinking 4 strips would work front, back, and 2 on each side along frame?

I think it'll look like a rolling Western Auto store.

Sorry, sometimes I get confused between honesty and brutality.

above your wheel in the rear looks sick... Sounds like its going to be pretty bright, try to test out how the look before you hardwire and mount them all on... ps. if your doing colored lights might want to put a switch on it, the police tend to get jelous when other vehicles have cooler lights then theirs. make sure to post up some pics!!!

i put an LED licence plate strip on my klx250 mounted my plate in the rear of the well and the light above so that you cant see where the lights comming from when your sitting in the car behind me.... I personally really like the way it looks i'll try to get better pictures of it at night or something.... and when they say white light LEDs they sometimes look really blue.... anywho good luck
