Like anything else, if they're done right they look good. I have sen them overdone or on bikes they just don't belong on, and it doesn't do a thing for me.
I have thought about just a bit subtle lighting on my motor, both for looks and for safety. I think it would help to be seen from the side. Does anyone know if it is legal to ride with lights on the motor?

Sweetsofttail,
Legality would vary depending on which state you are in. Hopefully led doctor can point you to the right place to find out. I believe in my state, PA, the motor code is written something to the effect ' lights must be as originally equipped from the factory.' Some police here quoted that to me back when I ran a blue dot tail light.

I like them, but agree that it can be overdone. Our neighbors have a Gold Wing and ride with a bunch of other Gold Wingers and when they're all together it is a sight!! I think they got into a "who can fit more lights on their bike" competition. My husband put lizard lights on ours and I like the look and also feel safer at night, especially on those unlit country roads. It is illegal in Ohio to have them on strobe and/or flashing, but otherwise it's all good.

I have to roll with Rex on this one....I'm an old school dude, however on certain bikes, if not over done they look pretty cool.

I love them, but on certain bikes, it just isn't right. Too many can definitley overdo it. BUT, too few is just a waste of time and money. It's got to be done right to look good. Either put the lights on, or don't.

I like them to. But not for my bike. My bike is to old school and ratty for that. And the ones with the brake lights that flash or spin and do all that shit stay in the back of the pack. If there riding in front you focus on there tail light not the traffic in front of you.
