At many an evening car and bike show, I've seen these cool bikes with LED lights that highlight the engine, wheels, etc.  I just purchased a complete set of these lights and am seeking advice on where to install them for maximum wow factor. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.  Instructions say not to mount on anything that gets hot.

I've seen a lot mounted on the inside lip of the tank to hi lite the carb runners and valve covers.  Seen some on the center cover just above the key slot.  Don't know what they were showing off, but it was kind of cool.   Also, there is someway of mounting them on the bottom of the windshield, Tourer, where the Honda sign is and they shoot a light stream up the shield, it looks like stripes.
One I saw was 3 red's, 3 blue's 3 red's 3 blue's till they were across the bottom by the Honda chrome.  I'm not sure how the lites were mounted but they nice looking.   Of course you couldn't ride it with them on.....    Don't bother asking why, that is easy to figure out.

Seen them mounted under the fender lip to set off the wheels, BUT, you spend a sheet load of time cleaning them. 

Best bet, is park it in the dark, hook a string up to a battery and move them around on the bike to see where ya get the best result, bang for your buck...

Once there, MOUNT em........

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

I'm in the process rebuilding my Interstate.
I have three strips (red, yellow, blue) in my Pods aimed to shine through the grated holes.
The red comes on with the brakes, the yellows when I signal and the blue with a switch.
As well, I have blue strips under the tank lips on either side, both carb covers, below the saddle bags (also R,Y,B), above and in front of the rear fender and several embedded in acrylic.
I'l post pictures when I am done. I do have pictures but all are too big to post in photstash.

This pick is old, before adding any LEDs, it shows some of the acrylic work. The acrylic is also between the master cylinders and their covers.

All my LEDs are hidden.
I got most of them from www.besthongkong.com
They make a water proof strips that I use 'house hold Goop', otherwise known as 'ShoeGoo' to attach and keep in place. ShoeGoo is AWESOME for wiring placement a smal dab can prevent vibration and is water proof.


Best regards,

Glenn
