Green on Chrome, what do ya think?

I put some green led accent lites under my gas tank to show off the chrome.
You know why I chose green? Cause green is the only color you can run legally when riding. I tried blue one time and everyone thought I was the police!
But not sure if the green goes to good with the chrome?, so now am thinking about changing to clear/white LEDs.

Here is a pic ..........

I like green so I think it looks great.

Oh I don't think anyone would mistake you for a cop.

The green looks good. White would show the chrome without a color tint is that what you want? I think that would look good.

I think the green looks good with the black bike. Once I paint mine, I'm going to put orange LED's under the tank.

I'm not a big fan of green but it looks ok. How about a pic of the whole bike in the dark?
