Have you double checked the aim after install?

They are allowed to sell underbody neon kits to the public at like pep boys or stereo car shops because they have on the box, on the instructions or the acutal product * for off road use only * or not for street use etc somethign to that effect . Not that I EVER put underbody neons on anyones street car or bike before in my life ;P . Typically if you see just the single neon tube thats for inside the car it doesnt have the protection around the tube like the underbodys do. Most of the time if you have red/blue lights/LEDS on your car or bike as long as you are sitting at like a show/bike night most of the cops wont bother you just dont drive with them on ;P unless said cop is up for being a D**K.

Looks good.
Being visible for other vehicles is a good thing.
That's a good looking RT by the way.
I should get one next.

Thanks, it's all about being seen. Sure can't here it... I'm sure it will be like the rest of my bikes, always a work in progress. Right now working on vent covers, etching webs and spyder inn them, Wife wants a Spyder etched in the windshield

What can I doodle on next
Spydette wants me to etch the winshield, so before I jump on it with both feet, I decided to try out something smaller and less expensive to replace incase I it up. So the small wings seemed to be the place to try.. Here is the "WIP" air diverters,radiator vent cover,finally enough nerve to etch the windshield.

Looks like you did a great job with those pieces. Best of luck with the windscreen, I bet it is going to turn out great.

Lawbidding compliance
I took all the comments to heart, since we will be heading to spyderfest and durango, I started correcting the locations of the lights. Red & White underglow, with Blue inside the body. REDWhiteBlue on the wheel

Flagpole
Decided to mount a flag pole on the Hitch...
Items used
#1 1" pvc conduit
#2 5/8" Conduit
#3 1/2" wedge Anchor + 1 extra nut washer
#4 Electrical Tape
#5 3" piece of 3/8 refrigerant insulation
PGR KIA 001.jpg
I inserted the wedge anchor into the 5/8 conduit and tightened the jamb nut. I then used the electrical tape and wrapped around the conduit to build a shoulder every 18". {10-12 wraps}. I then inserted the 5/8 conduit into the 1" pvc, using a rubber mallet since the fit was getting more restrictive as the shoulders were entering. I then placed the 3/8 insulation over the pvc and slid it to a place where a bungie could wrapped above it and would have downforce all the time. The bungie is hooked to the rear splashguard. I remove the ball from the hitch and use the extra nut and washer to fasten. Today was the 1st test ride. With the flag attached but rolled around the mast and tied in place. 80mph on the hwy N/P.. Flag unfurled and running 55mph N/P. We did a 30 mile escort for a marine who KIA 17 days before his tour was over.. 's for the family. I'll post better pics in my albums..

40# diet
Tired of hauling around extra weight. I took off the stock muffler. I cut off the tip of a roadking exhaust and attached to the Cat's. You can hear it but not see it. 200 miles no codes no backfires and just a wee-bit more volume on the radio. Really cleaned up the side and rearview of the Spyder. No more big bazooka hanging there interfering with the led lumination out from under the sidebox. moon muffler 007.jpg moon muffler 008.jpgmoon muffler 006.jpg

Nasty BRP Black
I Could never keep the black clean so I decided to paint all the pieces..Washed all the parts in hot water and a good degreaser. "Rattle-Can" Rustoleum Primer, Gloss-White,800grit wet paper, & good ole fashion sunlight. 2 coats primer and 4 coats of final color. Wet sanded between each coat. 3 days and nothing but free time.

Another Pipe
BYC 009.jpgI had to change yhe exhaust from the 1st application. We had enough backdraft to allow the exhaust fumes to be present. I took an old set of Harley rear cyclinder drag pipes and fabbed them to work on the Spyder. No exhaust fumes, no backfire, just a bit noisy. Ordered a baffle for the drag pipe. Now I get to create a new tip...

If your HID lights are adjusted right they should not bother oncoming drivers unless you have them on high.
