I'm new to this forum and I just got my first 86 CB700SC, I'm hoping to hear some feedback on what fellow owners have done as for a tail tidy and front lighting. Any advise, tips, photos are greatly appreciated  biker_h4h1

Stock is much admired around here - Especially with '86 700S models. Some people do swap to LED signals though.

I've got a 650, OEM signal posts are wicked expensive, and after market stuff from the dealer needed some adjusting to work.

 welcome to the forum! I don't know of people doing too much aesthetic wise to those bikes. Some have done a swap to a round headlight (touchy subject for some). You might do a search for HID kits and as LEDs as option said.

Welcome to the NHF!
We are a bloodthirsty picture-hungry group of riders around here, so be sure to post up some of your bike when you get the chance.
I am working on a tail-tidy project myself (still doing research and pricing), but I can share what I have found so far and the directions I am possibly headed.
1) 12v LED bulbs in the stock light assembly.
2) flush mounted rear turn indicators
3) integrated turn indicators and mirrors

Those are just some leads that I hope you will find interesting and hopefully get you going in the right direction.

goodluck!
