So does anyone have any kind of extra lighting on their ninjette?
I'm looking for placement ideas.

want to add a few lights but dont want to look like a Christmas tree.

And just because i know someone will say "they cant be on while you are driving" pa has this law on the books.

§ 4310. Motorcycle lighting.
Auxiliary lighting may be added to a motorcycle to protect the driver, including blue dot illumination, standard bulb running lights and light-emitting diode (LED) pods and strips.

This is what I did to my bike and it works great with my flushmounts.

the easier solution to do what I did (and I wish I had seen this before I did all that work) is to get this fun little solution (http://www.tobefast.com/customled-magic-blinker-pr-479.html) which does all the work for you. All you need to do is splice into the power and another ground. I saw a comparable product somewhere else, but I forget where.

NOTE: with both of the solutions I suggested, you'll need an electronic flasher.

My buddy did this to his cbr125, more of a rally style. There is an acc power lead right behind the gauges up front that would work great tto hook up lights, just wire in a toggle switch. You could also just wire them straight up if you want them as running lights. Just a word of warning, putting on two car fog lights will not make your alternator very happy. But it will work. I have also seen LED fog lights too, those would work great.

your other option is to keep the stock signals, but buy a pair of switchback LED bulbs from autolumination.com with as many LED's as you can fit in the stock turn signal. They're bright white for running lights (visibility) and amber for turn signals.

Think I can use this to kill my brake light when turning? I'm color-blind and my integrated tail light is hard for people like me to see even with just the running light.

Not sure Jet. You might be able to, but I don't know the circuitry inside the taillight to make that call
