Kawasaki Ninja 500R Ground Lighting Mod
Here are a few cellphone pictures I took of my street bike after I finished custom installing some ground lighting. I used green LEDs on the front bottom, and some yellow or amber looking LEDs on the front bottom that also blink with the blinkers. I also place some green LEDs above the chrome exhaust which looks sweet from behind. On top of that, I also installed all LED lighting for the running lights and flashers. Which I found gave me “hyper flashing” due to the low resistance of the LEDs with my stock flasher unit. To fix that problem, I also installed a after market variable load electronic flasher unit.
Here is a picture of me testing some of the LEDs on the bottom of the front end with a 9V battery.
Bottom
I would have preferred to purchase a easy to install kit, but unless you own a top of the line bike, that isn’t going to happen.

Update: I added a few more LEDs to the rear bottom of my bike. They REALLY make it stand out now!

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my latest hack. Perhaps I will do more in the future. My cell phone doesn’t have the best camera, especially in the dark. So, Sorry about the fuzz.
I may add some more lighting to the bottom rear of the bike. Or if I get really ambitious, make it look like a green Tron!
