Anybody who is questioning whether to get HIDs or not...GET THEM! Seriously, it'll be the best 300$ roughly that you spend. I picked up a pair from Brad down at SuperBikeSupply and I am extremely pleased with what I have received. I was hesitant at first to buy the 8000k which Brad recommended for fear that they would be too blue, etc. Nope! they're perfect As you can see from the pics below, its a crystal clear, BRIGHT ASS, light bluish tint light. I seriously get "highbeamed" during the day for my headlights haha at least I know they see me....figure since they pull out in front of us so much, might as well blind them, then they'll know we're there I also orded the Puig Double Bubble Dark Smoke from Brad as well which fit like a glove and drastically helped the "wind bubble". I picked up some running light LED flushmounts, I"ll see if I can find the link...they seem to work well however I have one gripe, the actual blinking part of it isn't consistent..its more of a random blink..lol I don't use them anyways but for what its worth I may try to figure that out. I also picked up a white LED light for the center "headlight" that matches the color really well I didn't have it put in yet during the pics below.
Honestly though, HIDs are always going to be on my bikes in the future, it makes night riding so much more fun, you're more confident that people can see you, and you can't outride your headlights as easily. Annnd the nice little bonus that they look great on our bikes lol
HIDs came in this crazy looking package....almost looked like a jewelry box lol.
Once again, thanks Brad for the awesome service and quick shipping!
Yup, just give Brad a call, this kit has been working for everyone, fits right in....I might do a writeup if I have some time on where exactly I mounted everything. I know there have been some in the past. The only PITA is finding effin room on the bike for the ballasts..lol The left side is cake b/c it mounts in the exact same location as the flapper junk. The right side on the other hand takes a little more patience but it does fit in there. Unfortuneately I forgot to take pics of where exactly everything is, but I'll remember to next time I take the fairings off

I have the Xenon kit. (i only put one on tho, the low beam) and it's easy as hell.
I will take pictures and post them for the forum but here is a hint; where the old vaccum canister and relay used to be it's were the HID transformer it's safelly and securelly installed.
Brad, yeah I might have to look into that.....b/c when I ordered this LEDs they were listed as the ones with 3 wires and were running lights, etc...as opposed to the guys buying the LEDs with two wires and then buying the running light kit. So this kit will work with my flushmounts that have 3 wires?
see told ya guys.. i have been runnnin HID's about 4 years now and will never got back to normal bulbs...I love them at night when im on my way home and a cop is sitting waiting for speeders (uhmm not me..hehe) and i blind the ish outta him.. its so funny when they cover their eyes from the light..

he hasnt came out after me as of yet.. but you are right.. in NY the popo would take pics of me stunting.. down here, they will throw my arse in jail....
LOL, i know. the last time I was practicing wheelies under the Triborough Bridge a cop came over in his highway car and asked me to raced him because he wanted to know if he could hang in case he needed to chase a sport bike so i let this other guy race him on a GSX-R600. (i have that on tape but won't show it for because the cop my get in big doodoo for that)

You couldn't connect them wrong if you wanted to Jim....and they come with the plug to the headlight hardnest so all you'll have to do its:
-disconnect headlight bulb
-take headlihg bulb out
-replace headlight bulb with HID bulb
-connect HID ballast to the headlight connector from hardnest
-done.

If you look at the pics I posted at the beginning they are those silver "boxes" you see in the pics...like RR said, they'r what changes the voltage from a little to a wholllle lot. Another hint on installation is something Brad told me. Make sure your power lines(I believe) they're the thick black ones aren't touching any part of the ECU...especially that one right under the right upper fairing or when you turn on your high beams, they'll screw with your ECU and cause your bike to do some crazy stuff lol so I hear
