• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How should I stack/alternate LED strip under-lighting?

I had LED lights on my Victory. Thought the F3 would look good with them too. My bike is blue, and I got Ice Blue LED strips. Read a few more threads and consulted a buddy here in Fla and he suggested maybe blue is not best idea due to LEO's. So I also bought some green. Between the two mixing, I should be able to get kind of a teal look. My question is: Does anyone know how I should stack the strips, i.e. one above the other; or go in every section or 2 where you can splice and alternate them to get the color? Maybe it's a hit and miss thing, but I just plan on running them on the back side under the bars (engine side).

I would just go with a system that you can adjust the light colors. XKGlow is one such system that allows: user-selectable colors; changeable patterns for lights; on/off and color; and also allows connection to the bike for turn signal and brake light interconnection. I believe Lamonster Garage sells them or you can shop around.

Blue and or Red is likely to be a Legal issue .... check with DMV .... Mike :thumbup:
 
I found the statute. While it doesnt specifically say you cant have blue on the sides, I really dont want to press that issue. It does say you cant have blue facing forward visibility. The greens came today, so I mauked up a blue and green strip stacked, didnt get the effect I was looking for. I have a couple other Ideas.
