That video makes me want to sell my bike...

maintenance is probably like any other led. just keep them clean they last a good long while. as far as install i have no idea. depends on how they set it up really but it is probably just running a few wires to the battery

It's quite a bit more involved than that.

( up to .20 seconds) yeah, that's good for the front forks.

Check this out. Neither one is really my thing, but I do think they are... well, different.

Don't know about those lights man, I think my opinion on them is best left to myself. I will say however, those guys riding in that video are a bunch of idiots. I really like the one of the guy that goes 20 ft as fast as possible before having to stop....nice one buddy that was super neat-o!!!!!

That's pretty sweet. I might have to do something like that with my deployment money when I get back. I like to be different; nonconformist. How many leather-clad, black half-helmet wearing, chromed out, loud piped Harleys and Harley riders do we really need in the world? Something like this is definitely different.

I do have to ask why it costs so much? I googled a bunch of different LED set ups and almost all of them were under $100 unlike the ones in the video.

They look cool on those bikes... but you would have to have the right sportster to make it look as cool as those.
