Saw this last night. Driving home see couple of bikes coming the other way. Notice that one of the bikes has blue leds on the wheels to give it that "cool maxed out look" NOOOO. Performance cans fine, even tinted lenses fine but please lets not see christmas trees riding down the road!! How do you lot feel about this kind of thing?

Saw the Gixxer along with a load of others with the tyre flies fitted. Numpties are getting on to two wheels as well I see. Loved it last night at LD when maxxed Bandit puts front wheel skyward in view of unmarked Pan-European. Bye Bye.

I guess if it floats his boat. It sinks mine! Cans, screens, huggers are all good as far as i'm concerned. Coloured lights i didnt like however i saw an R6 with blue light covers, which made it look as though it was a race bike (no lights visable) down side when then lights are on looks totally sh*te.

passed a bloke on a pan this morning with two little blue LED's on his screen - he'll be doing doughnuts round the back of the town hall next!

A couple of weeks ago saw one of those new harley things is it called a V-rod or something? the one with a solid back wheel anyway!

Now I dont usualy like harleys but I was looking at this and thought mmm not too bad.

Then the guy smiled at me and turned on his..... Red and Blue neon lights all tucked up around the engine!

Now no matter how much I wanted to dislike it I have to admit it looked cool think its cos of all the silver alloy/paint/crome it really stood out

Probably the only bike you could get away with it though

no its not true, sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit, but in my book the FUNNIEST. take a look at my picture, bike is still the same with no neon in site.

so I'm the only one on Ph that likes LEDs & neons? ah well. Too bad! I have had LEDS of varying descriptions on many things, and I especially like the fog-light hidden under bonnet of cars to give that "engine on fire" look. Just 'cos you don't like it, doesn't mean it is wrong.. but obviously you aren't meant to SEE the installation ONLY the effect! Tyre flies look great, but I wouldn't fit them because of the safety angle.
Just whatever you do - HAVE FUN, and don't spoil other peoples fun.

Had blue tire flies on my RSVR , they either stayed on all the time or didn't work at all.

Never had a problem with tyres deflating though.

Now changed for some lovely Anodised items.
