Here in Florida, underlights aren't technically legal, but aren't technically illegal either. It's one of those grey areas where it kinda depends on how the cop feels about it.
I don't actually have a CBR yet - I'm waiting for the 2012s to become availible before making the leap - so I just have a few questions for those who know the shape of the bike and where things could be added.
To make them legal, I'd just have the lights to the rear of the bike, and have them functioning as red tail-lights (which just happen to give me that nice look).
I managed to find the attached picture somewhere (don't remember where) and the rear LED lighting should be passable as a tail light.
So, would it be practical to simply connect a strip of red LEDs under the rear fender (the color I want anyway) and into the tail-light circuit? And could I get enough light emanating from the bike from this position to get the right look?
What about the front fairing light? What do you guys think of that? I couldn't make as strong an argument that it's functioning as a rear-facing tail-light, though I'd really like the red. Do those gaps go all the way through (would the lights be visible from the front of the bike) or does the plastic curve? If it goes through, I could have some front-facing, white LED strips (which just happen to give me a white glow through the back of fairing). The Red/White combo fits the bike anyway. And again, doable or tons of work?
Thanks!
