    haha, the small ones are actually brighter...
    in the day, they are not as easily seen, especially since they are smoked... but at night, they light up very well

    There is red underglow on the bike and if they can't see (or hear) me coming at night, they must be retarded lol

      Careful with the underglow lights, they are illegal in MN and most everywhere else. They are sold for show use only.

            yes i did, so i added a radar detector in the fairing
            I realize that they don't always have their radar on, but it's worked so far and i like my odds now

              And just remember, if you can detect them they can detect you

                oh i know, i don't do anything wrong except for occasionally i have the underglow on, since my speedo doesn't work ATM, i might be speeding... but i know that:
                2nd gear, 3,000 rpm = 30ish mph
                5th gear, 4,000 rpm = 63ish mph
                5th gear, 5,000 rpm = 75ish mph

                those are the important ones and i think they are close lol

                        Neither are very high on my to-do list lol
                        My to-do list is too long though and i don't have enough time or money for most things... it's unfortunate but it's the way life goes

                          Hi Eric,
                          95% of car drivers are retarded. The other 5% are bright and alert and want you dead.
