depending on where you put them you can use hot glue to secure them to the bodywork in addition to the stickers they came with.

with my 600 i put blue neons on that, your neons should have came with little screws, i put both of mine under the seat/above the tire, then ran it to a fuse then to the battery and had a seperate switch for it.

Make your switch is hidden so no one will come by when you are not around your bike and turn it on and leave it on. There are also people that hook them to the bottom fairing, but they crack alot of times pretty quick. there is also strobes and neon wire, but make sure you have a switch to turn them all off with unless you want them on with you turn on your bike

There is also neon license plate bolts that work good and are bright at night. You can use these for blinkers, but i wouldnt recommend it, unless you follow at night, i lead alot of times and i want the idiots behind me to know where i am going way ahead of time!

i drilled holes in my fairings just barely big enough for a small zip tie to go through...never had a problem..here is where i have all my neons at

Lefty · 10-03-2002, 09:59 PM

WOW how many lights do u have? i got 4 now and waiting for 4 more to come before i start this project...

You should just buy those 4 cluster LEDS ...they are bright as hell .. I have a few on my bike and it lights lots of shit up on the inside of the bike.... PLUS they use the smallest amount of power

Lance Swentesky · 10-04-2002, 01:18 PM

neons...... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Lefty · 10-04-2002, 03:53 PM

what are 4 cluster leds???

GYNXxx · 10-04-2002, 04:08 PM

you can get them at bike stores usually ...or car specialty stores. It's like a square cluster of 4 individual LEDs.... with a shell around it. TThey ligght up crazy ....

i have 2 10" 4 9" now and 2 6" and a 6" in my trunk so i can see at night..not sure how much power but i have them all hooked to a 5 amp fuse and i have never blown it so it can't be pulling more the 5 amps when on. it was pretty easy to install if your creative and my neons are made by street glow best neons made..don't buy the crappy ones at the local auto store...and they have held up to rain pretty good..the ones on the very bottom of the bike are the only ones i am having problems with...don't know why but maybe from stoppies and they are closest to the exhaust
