    Hang around with the Honda Owners Club and you should get your desire.

    Neons do look cool when it fairly subtle.

    Got a black bike, so on a blue glow would flow pretty mean. agreed?
    I would suggest that having a glow on your bottom that you can "turn on or off" is a bit "faggy" in itself.

    Depends on how much bling you want and how much the ride can cope with (ie, some customs can carry it well, stockers don't imho).

    It's your bike dude.

    Check these three shots, not my cup of tea but obviously some people like it.

    lol yeah I want something really subtle. I mean my bikes a 250 so apart from the screaming demon exhaust im not going to do any other mods... lights are cheap and look pretty sweet when its just sitting parked. I had lights on my car, turned them on like twice in a year, but just like to know I have them haha..

    So think I might just put a tube on for the bottom of the bike and one so it glows on top of the back wheel..

    Just wanna give my bike a bit of character..

    Ginger used to have them on his 100th anniversary parked out front of Swashbucklers.

    I thought they were way cool.

    Just remember if using neons as such, that the actual source of the light is not allowed to be visible by any other road user, just the light that it casts.

    Don't do it, attracting attention to yourself, especially when on a bike is just asking for trouble. Anything that makes your bike uniquely identifiable is a no-no. For instance, a member of public would easily remember your neon, but if you didn't have the neon it's highly unlikely he'll remember the make & model.

    Each to their own - thats what makes us individuals.

    If YOU like them - go for it and enjoy them.

    Yeah I only want them for when Im parked really, just for a sweet look. Cops on our asses so we gotta lay low all the time round here. 800 bucks for no L plate and going over 70km, was a bit rough, especially considering I wasnt giving him lip or bullshit. But ohwell laws the law. But if it aint illegal to have neons then I'm getting them.

    So, I assume a red flashing light on the top of my helmet is out, huh.
