For only $40 shipped I was too curious one night after a couple beers... :chugbeer:
They come from overseas though, so shipping took about a month.

I'm undecided, they do look sick, but it would obviously only be for show, they do come off and go back on really easy though, just these 3M velco type pads that hold them on.
I like that they left those two little city lights cut-out. 8)

Thanks Martin! :chugbeer:
I'm not sure on other color choices... As for legal, my guess is no, but that's only a big deal if they enforce it I guess... Here in the PNW it's pretty common for cars (and some bikes too) to tint their light lenses... :-\

I would guess its legal for day since headlights are not required for day.

Headlights on in VA at all times...

You are correct. Just looked this up at: http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/rights/State-Laws.aspx?stateid=37 (http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/rights/State-Laws.aspx?stateid=37) and more states then I thought require daytime headlights on motorcycles including Oregon. Not Colorado though.

Not sure, but even if not technically legal it comes down to how much it's enforced, not that I want to give the LEO's a reason to pull me over, but rocking em around town during the daytime in the summer months I'd think would be ok... :-\
Worst case is they'd pull you over for them and you can take them off in about 5 seconds and put em in the side case, I'm sure if you played dumb and said you didn't know and then pulled them off they'd let you go on your way without the ticket... :-\
I think some tinted windows are also technically illegal as well, but yet everyone has them, so it really comes down to how you roll the dice IMO... :-\
I've only been pulled over on my Connie once, and we talked more about my bike and the mods than anything, and in the end I didn't even get a ticket. :) :thumbs:

Agree completely. I'd be surprised if you got pulled over during the day for that.

People get pulled over for dark tint ALL THE TIME around here, I have a friend who is a ex cop , he got a ticket for having sun glasses on that did not have a foam seal, yet he had on a full coverage helmut on ? his shield was up , you don't even have to wear a helmut in Florida :o

I'm always correct except in those rare instances where I'm just nearly correct.
I think that's why most (if not all) street bikes come with the headlights automatically on. There is no on/off switch. I'm speaking Japanese brands. I don't know about the others. I could be just nearly correct about that.
And speaking of MC headlights, I had a bmw behind me last night with his frickin brights on or running a higher output white light... :censored: annoying it was until I slowed below 55 to let him get by me. This makes me crazy....and annoyed.

After letting him pass, did you consider turning on your high beam and following him? :)
-
That's the Darth Vader mobile. Very sharp. 8)
I'll use high beams during the day...
-
I wonder if 'technically' my lights are on, and the little lights pass legal muster?
I can could turn on my Denali's and be visual and maintain the stealth look, cause, damn, they look good. Depends on how LEO wants to bust my chops, or just have a look. 8)
