when we went to halfords they had some tube or strand ones for outside use (not as big as the christmas light strands - much smaller) as we were looking at some for the hippys fan areas on the benelli.

They didnt come in pink though Sad

Noooooooo!

You'll look like a boy racer nova driver. This question has been asked many times and the general feeling is that neons on bikes are bad taste.

And they'll flatten your battery. Smile

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

It wasn't me who said that, although I can fully understand why you thought that. Laughing

A Triumph with neons would be worse though - people would be able to see it in the dark too. Sick Razz

If you stick a load of MAX power stickers on your standard Nova with fake big bore exhaust people will get a certain impresssion of you.

The same goes with Neons.
