Sounds like there is something loose in there.  [cheeky]

I think that if the cops in my neck of the woods sees that on the road, your going to get a ticket. 

I feel like part of me wants to say that lighting stuff up is stupid so I just dont like it on principle...but I have to admit, that's a pretty cool application.

Lighting stuff up is for the biker boyz crowd.

but is it illegal?...some places....ground effects lighting and so forth is looked as bad due to distraction and therefore been chased as such

First one must ask

1. Does it increase power ?
2. Does it improve handling ?
3. Does it improve stopping ?
4. Does it reduce weight ?
5. Does it make you go faster ?

I'll be the first to say, I like it.

I don't like underglow, but I'm a fan of tastefully adding LED's to certain places. I think this is a cool way of highlighting an area of the bike that is unique to Ducati's.

Yes, in CA this flashing clutch light is illegal.

And if it does.................

Does that make you a better rider?  ;D

I don't care much for the neon light stuff.

But I am a man that likes cool looking stuff on my moto even if I can't answer in the affirmative to those very same questions above.

Bling that moto to your taste guy.

Forget what other people think or thing.   ;)

iron man theme?

Number 5 includes both the gaining & sharing of training, experience & knowledge.  [thumbsup]

[laugh]
so no more fancy reservoirs, mirrors, turn signals, tail lights, belt covers, sprocket covers, lowering headlights and gauages, carbon fiber doo-dads, custom paint, open dry clutches of any sort or fancy valve stem caps right?

im not much for underglow but I think the application is cool. I would prefer it to be a bit dimmer but the affect is awesome. haters be damned, theyre just tainted by how poorly used underglow has been in the past.

but for that matter, so are almost every aftermarket exhaust, license plate relocators and a million other things.  

he did ask what we thought about it. 

Everyone knows red makes you go faster  [laugh]

True. But the chance of getting stopped with illegal lighting is more likely. I cite without fail for several things, running red lights, cigs out the window, loud obnoxious music, and blue lights. I rarely cite a moto at all and will overlook exhaust and the plate (as long as I can read it).

Blue lights?  You think you could get a transfer to NYC?

Looks like it belongs in Iron Man 3. ARC reactor-powered Duc

Me personally, I think its too much bling. Its just too much. But the fact that they got the lights in there and working is pretty cool in and of it's self.

I kind of like an understated look at me approach, rather than the David Lee Roth look at me approach. But that's just me.
In any case its not going to appear on my bike. Even if I do get an engine with a dry clutch.

I thing it you bik an yo can du wuteva yu wan to youu bikke!!!!!!!

Thank you... :-*

Is that your bike?

Nope...

mine is crashed. [thumbsup]

You make it sound like its still in a ditch and your happy about it.

I was thinking the same...

Nope...

I crashed it hard about 3 or 4 years ago...did what I had to to get it on the road and never fixed the tank or painted it.

Well that's understandable your a painter.

I'm trained as a jet mechanic. I just spent several hundred dollars at the shop to have somebody work on my car.

I just want to know how he put the l.e.ds in the cover. Ive got me some ideas  [Dolph]
