Anyone on here who can recommend an underglow kit the valkyrie? I was thinking one of the 8 piece kits? Any help greatly appreciated. Also, any advice on where the best place to place them would be?

I just bought a 2 rolls of coated tape light and cut length to what I needed. Had to solder each and sealed with clear silicone. I did the black one with purple ( still working on it) and the blue and silver is lit up red/white/blue. I also added white strips in each bag so you can find stuff without a flashlight. They’re hooked in to same switch and draw very little power and don’t get hot.

Depending where you live, be careful of blue and red (riding, not parking)

The cops often have exclusive rights to those colors, if they can be seen ahead of the bike at all.

I'm ok with offending cops, I know my rights and I'm definately not afraid to enforce my rights, plus I have a great lawyer  :coolsmiley Thank you for all the great tips so far. Jess, that valk is looking great. Did you make that piece that says "valkyrie" behind the front wheel? I'm thinking of doing something similar to my saddlebags. I'm contemplating cutting out a design and then covering it from the inside with some type of translucent plastic so it will glow if I put lights in my saddlebags.

That's not my Valk, that's Jims99 in FL.

I've seen those forward/lower Valkyrie cutouts on line, but can't remember where.

I don’t run the red white and blue lights while riding ( very often) The plate I believe is made by a member. I bought mine from a Freind. I have seen them on eBay.

I think Carolina Bike and Trike is still selling the lower engine covers. It looks like their website is being worked on.

I made this 80 LED blue underpanel for Deerslayer.  Has a steel 3/4" box tubing frame, lexan window, sheet aluminum top cover, LED strips from Autozone and silicone gasketing to keep dust out.  It was the inspiration for my popular lift adapter frame.  Looks good at night.
