RGB Motorcycle Underglow LED
"When people do not have what to do, they are doing stupid things "
... so 8 RGB Led lights with remote control for on/off,15 static colors, flashing mode and fading mode ( I am using only the static color ). Is having and a Brake Light Function ( I do not intend to blind driver around me ), but I do not wish to use it, not even this one all the time ( just a few ), because they are forbidden in UK ( I will see if I will be able to pass MOT, or I will need to rip them off ) !
Ok just a little bit about what I used and a little bit about forward installation! First of all I used the 8 Pcs Pod Million Multi-Color RGB Motorcycle Underglow Neon LED Accent Light Kit from Ebay.UK but I am sure you'l find them every where and even on Kit of 4, 6 or more ( me I bought one more 4 Pcs from Aliexpress ). Info about the kit, you have only 2 extensions on and a remote control, plus the 8 leds! Now this ones are connected in series, one after each other, how ever what they are given is not enough because the are to close in the way which they thought, so you need a least 2 more extensions, plus splitters to get where you want! Me I used a 3 way splitter and 2 of 2 way splitter! Here is how I used them
if is making any sens to you all. I connect the main unit with the 3 way, to which is one going right and left forward, second right on the back, third left side where I connect a 2 way from which one is going to left side under the fuel tank and the other with extension back on the left side! Have in mind between main unit, 3 way and 2 way, plus the left and right led under fuel tank and saddle, I did not used any extension ( you have plenty cable to do your thing ), also I left the cables a little bit loose from the tank and saddle so they can be unclipped easy way when is going to be necessary. I used extension to get back left and right continuing from the saddle ones each side! Front I used one more 2 way splitter just after the led under the tank right side for left and right with extension! Front, back leds plus the one on the left side under the fuel tank, I cut the cable which was continuing and I prof that connection with black silicon.

As you can switch them on & off as needed I don't see an issue
with getting through the MOT. Tell the guy doing your MOT they
are for use at shows. Lets be honest they pass bikes with overly
bright after market lights that dazzle other road users.

I add and the Aoocci U7 with cameras front and rear !
I had a issue ( I still have it until they will send me the part ) with this part of cable ...
... when ever it was shaking most of the time it was change the image/ or map! So when I get home I cheek everything until I see this under part if is turn or touch it is doing this problem! Now about the device is ok, not a huge amount of cash, but not cheap to. My issue it was unfortunate I am starting get old, so for my eyes I need something bigger for a screen also is having and the cameras which I wanted, they have a proper resolution ( I hope next time I will have and a video from them! Also me when I bought it I thought it was having and a USB cable to work with, but unfortunate is only with direct power from the battery ( have in mind and watch it, you need to connect to something which is having the ACC function, or else you are going to remain with out battery ! ) and also is having Google Play so you can download more apps if you wish, me I install from beginning a 128 GB SD Card.

Is the plate not likely to cause heat retention?

I read that elsewhere as I had considered one. How long did it take to fit?

Not to long, you just need to give attention ( have the help of another person to lay it on the right side ) and let me to say the true, in the back I used some huge zip ties with a rubbing bushing between the 2 metals where is touching! I am telling you, I was trying but need modifications on the support, at last in this way when ever is necessary cut them down and put others, simple things with out making it difficult ( I have it on the road today and I can not hear nothing ), also after a month and a half of rain here in Scotland it was 24°C and all gone smooth ! Also after you are going to rise it back, let the motorcycle oil 5 min to come back in place, before starting.

After I change the filter with a DNA ( I do not intend to change anything on the ECU, for me this motorcycle is having plenty of steel donkys and I do not need more then that, also I do not intend to race with ), I change my BMW R18 side panels badges with this 3 options ( it depends on what color shoes I'm wearing, I will change them
)!
