So i felt like putting some underglow on the bike. I dont like seeing the strips but think the light is cool for the 20% of the time i ride at night. I didnt want to spend a lot of money on any of the set ups i have seen though. Basically i am a cheap bastard lol.
Here is what i did. I bought some LED strips off ebay for about 3$ and stuck them under the frunk. I bought a 12 adapter for about another 4$, basically something that plugs into the 12v adapter like a car charger that has 2 wires comign off of it and even an on off button. I ran the two wires thought the battery door in the frunk and then underneath and attached the led strips. That way they turn off with the key. Then i bought 2 battery operated led strips for 4$ a piece and stuck them under the saddlebags where the black plastic is and then used a couple of command picture hangers. Basically like velcro but better and stuck the battery box for the led strips right on the end so you cant really see any of it but you can reach underneath and turn the switch on the box easy to turn them on and can remove the box easy to change batteries. The batteries, 3 aaa, are supposed to last like 60-100 hours or something which is a long time imo. Anyway they also change color and will flash or strobe or whatever else you want them to do. Whole deal cost about 20 and required no drilling, removing panels etc. Here are some pictures. the front strips are blue so i keep the rear on blue too but changed the color for the pictures just so you could see how they change.
first one is stips taped up under the frunk, last one is the rear strip taped (they all have sticky tape on them) and the battery box

. To each their own. Agree it does look nice:thumbup:, just not for driving. (Off soapbox)
hyea:
it has like 15 colors available on the rears. On the fronts i would just hit the switch in the frunk to turn them off. But i dont think i would ever get pulled over for these, They shine down onto the ground and are not lights that would be visible or be mistaken for cop lights or something but who knows.
