I have put accent led lights on my 99 and it only cost me about 60.00 and an evening installing them.

I have red under glow in the front fender for the wheel, under the rear end to light up the rear wheel, inside the upper cowl to give a nice glow down the front of the bike and lastly inside the side fairing giving off a nice glow out the vent openings.

I ran everything into a switch just under the rear subframe so that it is easy to reach under and turn them on or off.

Sorry no pics at this time.

Illegal in Az to have them on unless the bike is parked. At least that's what I have heard...from a cruiser guy at a bike night. I was temped when I was riding my cruiser all the time to do that.

May wanna check Co's laws. :wink:

Gotta stay away from the red and blue! But other than that never heard of anyone having any trouble. Most police officers understand how important being seen on a moto at night is.

Anyone know the laws for these lights in Ontario Canada?

I think they outlawed the under body lights on cars in Ohio. I think that carried over to motorcycles too.

If night visibility is the goal, I would first look into a Hi-Viz helmet, and then doing the GSXR mirror conversions (running lights in the mirrors). The accent lights won't be bright enough to be very noticeable over the headlight, and they will only help when you are next to someone, not behind or in front.
