LED Accent lights for your Ride!

Step 2: Attaching Side Strips

Here you will have to attach the strips to the fairings and fender.  For the fairings on either side

Take the light strip and cut a fitting amount of velcro, the same length and width of the light.  This will attach the LED to the fairing, and be removable, so that when you take the fairing off to do maintenance, the light can be attached and removed easily.  I haven't had a problem with heat near the LED's yet so it shouldn't be a problem in the future.

The glue on the Velcro wasn't strong enough to adhere to the strip itself, so I did 3 zip ties along the length of the light on one side of the velcro and it attaches fine.

Do this for both sides.

Do it! Why not? I'd say LED's would look just fine on any bike in good shape.
