Show lights? was created by Link14
My youngest daughter and I were at a bike night at Full Throttle Coffee house last week and she saw several Ninja's with LED lights on in the parked position. (She's pushing me for a Ninja 250 :P )They appeared to be colored and under the carriage. She thought it would be a great thing to add to the 900 ltd when I got it finished.

Has anyone done this to a KZ before? It's probably a sub project down the road aways, but I do think I've got some auxilary output wires on the bike and maybe a couple of LED light strips under the tank shining down on my shiny engine (one of these days) would look cool.

yeah, and a crushed velvet seat would really top it off :)

Dont forget the dingle balls hanging from the handlebars.Your led lights would look cool, and would probly help be seen better. May even cause a distraction.Local Law may notice you more.:dry:

I don't think the cops would like you running blue led's or red's facing forward. There are a couple of bikes around here that run them. Most I've seen are green and purple. Heck people still light up their dressers like peacocks. Led's are low draw. I think Whitney sells kits. Prolly all do. B)

If it floats your boat go for it. Most states, however, will give you a ticket for having those kinds of light on while moving. They are mostly for parking lot bragging rights.

Have seen them here on Haybusa... Truly depends on the theme/design/concept of your ride... Stock 900/1000, just don't see it working right...

For your daughter, no would say anything except, you go girl, good for you, looks cool...

For you.... Well I think you know the response.... :blink: :laugh: Wonder if the the color comes in pink?

Nah, it would just be if it was parked, exactly like Don's pic. No pink...she wants a pink Ninja...no way!

I say light it up like a Christmas Tree if she wants. If she wants Pink then give her Pink. Then ride with her and be proud. My Daughter loves riding on the back with me. I guess it is because I was riding Wheelies with my Wife on the back when she was pregnant with her. I can't think of anything cooler than a young lady on a pink Ninja riding next to her Dad on a Vintage KZ...Russ

How old is your Daughter?
