gidet Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I see a lot of bikes at night that seem to have neon under the bike, which always catches my eye. So I'm just wondering what you guys think of this neon lighting? Would it be a good investment in the future to buy it if you do a lot of night riding?

hue jass Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have three driver/ballasts. Just get the lights you want and plug them in. PM me if you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't have an opinion about neon lights on bikes. However' date=' if I did have an opinion, it would be that they are for posers and douche bags.[/quote']This made me chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 i like my LEDs, but it's not a safety thing, if they can't see tail lights then they aren't going to see underlighting, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Unlike I.P. I am not afraid to give an opinion. I am of the opinion that they are a good investment for safety reasons and while you are at it you should probably change your exhaust to make it louder for the same reason.

I hate loud bikes no matter the type.A louder exhaust will not make me any faster and I seriously doubt they make anyone else any faster. Loud exhaust is just obnoxious.

Uncle Punk Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 No flip flop, I find neon lights and loud exhausts to have the same value as safety devices and investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think StreetGlow gives away lots of product, because every other POS I see with neons has a 36" sticker in the back window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I was thinking about adding them to the kawi after I paint it color changing and add a system!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I myself have them, but never really ride at night because you can't TRULY "ride" at night. They're not for safety, they're for looks and they look great on motorcycles. I got mine on ebay for $6. Just had to have my buddy 12'0clocker install everything since he knows all electrical.

Bad324 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 i like them but then again I've also had a set sitting in my garage since last summer that I've still yet to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Ok, this thread decided it for me. I'm adding spark plug wires, underbike lights, more chrome, and a louder exhaust.Thanks losers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm with Pauly on this... I think the neons are pretty douchey. On an EX250, it might be kind of funny though.a few guys in high school bought a POS civic for like $600 and then used to take it to the local drag strip to make fun of the fart-can civic 'racers.' They put neons on the car, had an ACTUAL coffee-can exhaust tip, a REAL towel-rack spoiler, and painted a "racing strip" with a roller. This was right after the original Fast & the Furious came out. Needless to say, the joke went over much better with the V8 crowd than the kids who thought their civics were fast - not that the lights make a vehicle any faster anyway.

cOoTeR Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 My opinion is they look cool in parking lots while moving the only people to notice are law enforcement. I try to ride mine more than it sits in parking lots. I also try not to get noticed by law enforcement while on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'll probably never install neon or LED lighting on my bike simply for the fact that I rarely night ride, and I don't ride a show-piece........nightriding impairs my vision to ride like I want too Nick.........so during the day these accessories are redundant and basically end up dead weight on my bike, so I've never been able to justify having them........But, I'm not against them - it's a cool mod to most any motorcycle, just don't see the need for 'em on mine.

sideout Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 How many of these riders with the neon do you see actually wearing gear?....that should tell you something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I have l.e.d.'s. I only turn them on at car shows and bike nights. I think they look nice. When I switch them to breathing mode. Where they change from dim to bright. I wear full gear and I enjoy tracks and back roads.... Don't really think that led's make me a dumb ass rider...
