out of curiosity, has anyone ever had the gendarmes ticket/warn them about having BLUE lights installed. Particularly ones that blink?

 

btw. I'm looking to add some lighting to the back of my 08 RSTD, so am keeping my eyes peeled.

 

$13.49 for a 12 inch flexible strip might just be the thing. At least its cheap, even if I eventually put something else on.

If you ride with lights on, you are best to stay away from red and or blue lights... I've had a few friends that got hassled for riding with those colors.. Other people I know and myself with other colors haven't really had any issues that I know of... I ride with Black light LEDs on and never been stopped, and have ridden past many a cop with them on.

Wally-World has some now. About a 12 in strip for less than 10 bucks. A red one tied into the brake on the rear might keep me from getting run over again.

Black light LED's...where you find them? I always liked a black light. I need to see them.

I get them from a friend here in VA.. I know if you search around on the web for UV leds you can find them too... some sites have purple, but that is not the true UV or black light..

Probably not fair to say your friends were hassled for running with blue lights. In many states blue lights on any vehicle are illegal for obvious reasons. The officers were just doing their jobs if they stopped them. Now red lights, at least on the back of the bike should be no problem.

OK.. yeah, hasseled was a bad choice of words.. they created their own problems.. Red is OK on the back, but the cops don't like them lighting up the whole bike.. for obvious reasons..

Here in Ga. blue lights are illegal. I read the state code. It did not say anything about red but I would stay away from red around anything but the rear of the bike. The state code did not mention red but I did not read each city code that is in the state. The county I live in the police use blue and red on there patrol cars so I would not be surprised in my county that there would be a code against red. Of course as long as you don't ride with them on you can have any color you want.:confused24:
