How and where did you fit them to your nesting beauty?
I might get some for the Spada but don't know where to mount them. Of course, mounting points would be different, but it could give me a fair idea of where to fit them to my steed of animal-likeness (read: beast).
Of course, my LED's would have to be blue, as my bike is blue, and it just fits...although I have no problem with your colour choices.
Thank you for your insight as to how the oriental (read: brainy ricer guy) mind works.

That is soo sad.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Dear Chemical formulae expression,
Upon recieving said LED devices from the the ubiquitous postal delievery service, one must delve beneath your wondrous mechanical steed and allocate where you target it for prospective mounting locations.
It is usually reccommended to engage the eye where it will be drawn on a balmy, crisp, evening when the birds gather for their dutiful days rest from their daily struggle.
(1) Locate a pair for each side of your fuel tank - making sure you do not use a naked flame to provide a lighting source to locate them; firey explosions followed by high-pitched screaming and a flailing fireball is usually detrimental to one's long term life extension.
(2) Allocate one for the front to mount beneath your radiator, ensure that it is placed in front of it and not on the fan since a rapidly rotating LED, while humourous for a short while, will result in it running out of wire, wrapping itself around the shank and causing endless mirth and mayhem as people around the globe read about your demise on Darwin's Awards.
(3) Allocate a pair for underneath your velocity impelled contraption. Make sure these are not located on surfaces, which attends to a high temperature. The burning smell of glutinous adhesive material, while making one high as a wind-blown, recreational device (to wit : a kite) is not a worthwhile endeavour.
(4) Place one mounting beneath the seat where it shall illuminate your suspension set-up. This is knowing as showing off your underbits, and while it is a titillating thrill when a member of the opposite sex flips her skirt to reveal her lacy undergarments, the purpose it serves here is to use up one of the mounting LEDs.
(5) Place one mounting beneath your tail piece, this serves to highlight how little tread you have left on your oil moulded, stressed and fraying rear tyre. This is due to the superfluous finances you have wasted on frivolous tomfoolery for your superlative two wheeled performance machine.
(6) In contrary to (2) I have mounted one on the rearside of my radiator (that would be the side that faces you, if you had an unfortunate terminal velocity incident where you could actually see the rearside of the radiator). This enables more of the elegant design by those of Mr.Honda's employees to elicit gasps of oohs-aahs or a shake of the head by those considered "serious bikers without a whit of humor or appreciation of the aesthetics of such proprietary installations".
In all of this, paramount consideration must be given to the placement and traverse of the wiring looms that you will end up with...10 LEDs = 20, add in the power wire (if needed) and you are ending up with a most perplexing conumdrum and congregation of electrical excess.
One must take their time, engage the practical side of one's grey matter and utter profound and insightful comments like "Bugger/Oh F**k it/Sh*t/That hurt like buggery/And Other Such Purposeful Utterances". Having the right instruments for the job is a must, keep distractions like frilly underwear to a minimum and eventually, you will earn the enmity of "serious bikers without a whit of humor or appreciation of the aesthetics of such proprietary installations".
I hope you have found this to be of some use in your quest for the desire to part from your finances for no apparant purpose. If you are desirious of further help, I shall explain further in a step-by-step photographic detail on how to do this to your heart's content. If this is so, I am afraid I will be installing another 10 LEDs onto my chosen panoply of manuever. Pink LEDs anyone?
Your partner in discerning crime and the bane of "serious bikers without a whit of humor or appreciation of the aesthetics of such proprietary installations""

Top effort -the bike that is, however I'm not so sure about the verbage that spews out of your keyboard. I think you may be on to something with them light thingy's, its a good look.
Black lights for my black bike??
Good work Gijoe1313!!!!!
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
If this is the future of biking I may have to sell up, buy an Aston Martin & hang around with Bearded weirdos in Roman sandals, Brown button up leather jackets & polo-neck jerseys knowing that I am still ahead in the style stakes.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Dear Computer Function Key,
Au contraire, I am of an extreme arm of humanity known by the nonclemature as "Nerd/Dork/Geek/And Other Such Utterances" I shall not bandy about the bush and elaborate on my other "soo sad" hobbies (I take it you are a fellow asian who uses the "soo" as in "su")
I am a wargamer. I collect and paint all sorts of miniature apparel for the purpose of rolling buckets of random probability generators (to wit : dice) in order to roll dismally on the floor as everything has either, missed, failed to wound or resulted in my own battleforce self-destructing in spectacular style.
I collect and read comics and manga. I have even drawn them for magazines overseas. I chuckle at "What's Michael", I grieve in "The Killing Joke", I applaud in "Ronin", I gasp at Masamune Shirow's Visions of "Appleseed", "Black Magic M-66", etc.al
I wear costumes. I design and go over the top in my homage to Star Wars. Notably Boba Fett. I am now designing a "Death Korps of Krieg" Imperial Guard Ensemble to menace my gaming fratenity with when I roll bucket loads of random probability generators to self-immolate my own battleforce.
I snort when I laugh, I wear dress socks with roman sandals, I actively look for pocket protectors.
I jump out of planes, I jump off bridges, I jump off canyons...people who asked me to go jump in the lake...been there done that!
I allocate icons to all my computer folders that are LEGO themed, SW themed, and any other thing that takes my fancy.
I participate in vigorous and robust discussions of all things SW with like-minded afficinadoes and any other such "soo sad" categories. The scarier thing you have to ask is...what else do I get up to out of sight of all others!
I channel my internal ricer and study martial arts, install frivolous electrical gadgets and other notably "lame" and "ridiculous" undertakings. There will be others who are just like me, not like, will the real gijoe1313 please stand up? Please stand up!
This is not a dig at you personally, just a clear statement that I am only being me. I like you for your refreshing honesty and can appreciate that only a mental defect that is certifiable would do what I like to do.
Your entirely in agreement and used to the vagaries of people calling those other segments of the population "soo sad"
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"![]()
Ignore the pontification that exudes from the excesses of my ASCII imparter device. Infernal logic works behind shuttered mind.
In homage to your homily for hirsute statements, I will say :
Black Lights will evince a nice effect on surrounding items when they inevitably glow with that "night club" effect. An interesting theorem, which I will implement in my own Telstar Orion complete with disco ball and laser system (I often transport my fellow imbibers of alcamahol to establishments and they have been in rapture of my underlighting in the passenger cabin).
Your steadfast adherer to simple statements
"I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"![]()
WOW ... and you own a Telstar Orion!
Nice job but RED??? good colour but isnt there some law against forward facing red lights??? The other issues is now you have to keep the bike very clean as the leds show all grime and crap alot more. I had a similar/simpler version on the GSX in blue and gave it a nice glow.
Need something to do when not riding??? Come and learn to dance with us at www.cerocstars.co.nz
Ummm...
...chur bro, tu meke!![]()
At the 2007 Westpac Ride:
Donor: So ya glad you're a Biker?
Minnie: F**k yeah!
Sir, whilst your pontifications and verbiations are read with some trepidation, I do concur that you have made an attempt at ensuring the 'biker' fraternity do you veiw and you machine with the utter and total disdain that it deserves. I say trepidation in that previous utterances and prose have lead to nonsensical ramblings that have included chicken wings, hornets and triads. To have hoped that you would not 'wander' in such a manner was, of course, far too much to have even considered.
The ramifications of the alterations that you have heinously thrust upon your poor machine, be it only a lowly Hoonda, will ensure that the laughter, that you have heard thus far only in your feverish dreams, is now heard echoing along the byways that you have been known to frequent, namely the poorer areas of the southern Auckland suburbs where those known to you as bretheren subsist... barely.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
