Re: Motorcycle Lighting Question for LEO

Well if you ride a CBR/r1/gxsr/ninja then ride my bike you will quickly find out a vfr is like riding a couch compared to those.

The problem with the hid lighting is the people who put them in reflector housing and not projectors. ofcourse everyone calls them "those blue lights" which depending on the kelvin rating do look more blue. But regular halogens are almost yellowish. I have 4300k hids in my car and everyone tells me they look white compared to everything else. But I also aim them slightly lower to keep them from glaring the heck out of people.

I've seen some touring bikes/baggers that really were lit up like a Christmas tree. Not particularly my taste in lighting.
However, a few hidden LED strands lighting the ground/engine area is quite different.
I thought a Honda VFR was a sportbike. Did you make it a bagger? Add a touring bike suspension or seat?
My interaction with PoPo (three times in the last 40 years) has always been positive. Keep your front wheel on the
ground and don't worry about the radar :biggrinjester: .
sport touring with out the cruiser look. not a full sport bike but goes fast enough.

Should get one of those Honda 919's that's a sleeper bike. no fairings basic plain look. 1100cc performance engine.
