Default I've got a fever

....And the only prescription is more modding. I recently bought a hotbodies undertail kit for my bike thanks to Ebay. It has two led brake lights with the turn signals on another bulb in the same socket. It is pretty slick, took a little fabbing once I got it, but I love it. Here are some pics, In the one picture the undertail looks blue but that is just the bike reflecting off of th undertail.

Yes it is in my house. I live in a fraternity house and I rolled it right in the set of double doors and through my bedroom door, tucking the mirrors in.
Here is a picture of what the undertail used to look like. Where could I put the liscence plate that it would look good.. Where I have it is a temp spot until i can figure out where. I do not like it right under the lights at all.

Man, you're just asking to get hit. The lights are in tubes for crying out loud!

I just don't get it.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about getting hit. I just started riding on the street after a long experienced time doing motocross and serious trail riding, and ive been nailed loads of times by other people on bikes just doing that, let alone waiting in front of some uppity idiot in a civic at a red light who just cant wait to try and keep up with a motorcycle off a start.

It looks good.

But I agree with Rowdy. I believe it's more inportant to be seen easily than to improve the looks.

LED's = brighter lights = easier to be seen.

Turn signals aren't meant for people to see who are right on your side otherwise stock turn signals would not have half of the bulb covered with a black plastic instead of more amber casing.

We're not telling you what to do here, I've followed a few bikes with similar set ups and I had a hard time seeing where they were going even though I know they were blinking and I was looking at their rear ends (keep it clean people ).
