I used Radiantz flexible strips, pricey but well worth the money & have a life time warranty, they are the brightest on the market.
I took photos with headlight off at different distances to check how visible they are, I'll also take day light photos to see how far can they be noticed. I zip tied them to the mirror stems which worked perfectly for me, I know some might not like it but its an option to consider, they would also make a superb brake light and rear running lights.

Man those suckers are really nice!!! That night distant one in the lot makes them look as bright as the street lights.

You got that right "these suckers" is the best description, they have adhesive backing but I zip tied them, put two of these on the mirrors back or stems and get rid of the stock signals, due to them being stand alone signals they turn off and on not dim & brighten which makes them very noticeable. I was going to add fog lights but I think this is enough light, one can get carried away:scooter 1:

Unfortunately for me i'll be taking my LED lights off tonight and putting my lollypops back on to get an inspection sticker tomorrow. I got rejected last week because they aren't DOT approved. But then again I live in a communist state.
I really like how bright and visible your lights are. Can you post a link to where you bought them?
 
+1 on the Radiantz. They are very bright. That is what I used to make my tail light. They are not cheap but noticeable.

I purchased a couple "flexible arrays". You can custom tailor the length of the LED strips to suit you needs. When I purchased them, they came with a long tube, with adhevise backing, and multiple end caps for the tubes. You cut the LED strips to the length needed, solder on two wires to power up the strip, insert the strips in tubes, pop the caps on, and wire it up. Really pretty easy, and they work great. You can also wire them up with one of their "dual element circuits" to create a tail light/brake light combo.

The ones that you can cut have 3 mm spacing between the LEDs, the one I bought has one mm spacing so you can't cut but they have more LEDs than the other.
both are very bright, when you think about it the price is reasonable, you get what you pay for, you put them and forget about them + they have life time warranty. I wish they had them in white , they would make excellent running lights tho amber is more visible white looks sharper.

The ones I bought have 100 LEDs/ft, 1mm spacing. You can cut them as shown on the website.

They do make a flexible array with 60 LEDs/ft, 3mm spacing. This one can be cut also. But, it is not the one I used.
