Nice pics, the lights stand out and not gaudy at all.

I had mine installed by Rumbling Pride out of Florida. They are super bright and the main reason i got them was for more visibility. They cycle through multiple colors so i can use blue when parked and bright white when on the road. They are all over my bike including front wheel, rear of bike over license plate, and under saddle bags. The reflection takes up the entire lane on I-75 going through ATL. Their website is http://www.rumblingpride.com.

Lighting, for me, has always been a defensive measure that I will not skimp on.

Thinking of the same thing accent lighting for my king. I started with the 3 TL phase 7 lights and custom dynamics directionals up front and went with the Kury Paneca lights in the back...in the run/stop/turn mode for the rear it makes an enormous, ENORMOUS, difference. Going to do the led accents this winter.

Here's a pix of some amber leds I wrapped around the rotor covers on my old Ultra. Not sure if you have these or not though. The covers were on the bike when I bought it used to simply adding the strips and wiring them in was no big deal. I think I had about $20 wrapped up in the lights. Those suckers were really bright too.

I have used Joe Florida's stuff on a previous bike.
My current ride has lights from xkglow.com and oznium.com

Some states/ areas are picky about certain color lights. Yellow (amber) would be legal anywhere.
Some places only allow clear/ white lights facing forward.

Here's a couple pics of my current setup. Did it all myself, including led color change in gauges, led's in speaker grills in fairing and bag lids. Added some for the front wheel too which gives a cool color flash as the wheel turns...











Your lighting looks awesome I really like the speaker and especially the gauges. You need to do us all a good by doing a write up of how you did this, please I would like to do my gauges.

Default LED Accent Lighting

I also never thought about the LED Accent Lighting as a safety feature, only thought people put it on their bikes for the bling. I was riding home from my daughter's house a couple of weeks ago and passed a couple of guys on bikes, one of which had the acent lighting (blue) on and that's when it hit me - his bike really lit up and was so much more noticible on the road. This was on Southern State Parkway on Long Island which is lighted, but what a difference it made. It can only be better on roads that aren't lighted.

Here's mine. Joe Florida's 207 light kit. I usually just set it to one color and leave it. I think the law states here that if you do have red or blue on they cannot be flashing or you cannot see the actual source of the light, so the strips up under the fender are ok, Also I noticed someone placed a strip along the bottom of the tank. I would place it up inside where it curves up to go over the center tank bar, and for 2 reason, I don't like seeing the strip, secondly, should you need to remove the strip and it damages the paint and starts to peel it would be less noticable. But anyways.

This is what I am saying about seeing the strips, although you cant see the strip itself you can see the strip in reflection of the chrome exhaust. I am really not a fan of that
