I ordered my kit(H4 Bi-Xenon HID kit 5000K) three weeks ago and got it one week after I placed the order for 50 bucks shipped. I received a call from Josh the day after I placed the order asking if it was for a car or bike. When I told him it was for a bike he said no problem and threw in a extender kit to reach the battery. Pretty good customer service in my opinion.
This was a time consuming install, but relatively simple. The kit seems pretty good except there is no included solution for mounting the ballasts and securing the wiring. I have seen several different ways of mounting the ballast on this form. My idea was to totally disassemble the fake intake cowling and drill holes to mount the ballast with zip ties. It turned out to be a really clean install. The hardest part of the whole install was definitely getting the rubber boot installed back over the bulb. I got pissed and just cut the damn thing. It still seems like a tight fit so I'm not too concerned. I will keep and eye to make sure no moisture collects in the headlight assembly.
The new headlight is awesome! Best 50 dollar mod out there. The light is much whiter and obviously brighter. The HI beams really reach out there. I saw a blacked out cop, parked perpendicular to the hi way in the median, from 700 or 800 meters out the other night. This lamp also really lights up the sides of the road much better, i.e. deer are seen much sooner.
I have attached some pics of my ballast install location. The first one shows the disassembled "intake cowling" where I chose to mount the ballast, you can also see where I ran the positive wire back to the battery and where I attached the ground to the frame(red and black wire just above the radiator cap). The second pic is the holes I drilled which are deep in the "intake" and can't be seen looking into the opening. The third is the ballast just hanging there before I tightened the zip ties. The fourth is a weird angle, it's taken looking up underneath the bike between the fork, with everything tightened down. Hope this helps anybody considering this HID kit.
