Ok, So I am getting ready to buy the new headlight for might bike out of this check. My wife and I decided to make the splurge because with the sun setting around 830-845 by mid-late July, we want me to be able to continue commuting to work on the bike until the temps wont allow, or the risk of deer (HIGH where our house is) is too high to risk in the fall. Every day I commute to work I spend about 2.2 gallons of gas vs. 6 in my Blazer. The money saved will also help get the new Cat. Conv. for the truck earlier.
I like the idea of HID but think I might look at the process more or pay someone for the retrofit install. So I have a few questions.
1: The HID light output.. Sounds like 4300k will give me the best viewing distance from what I have read... But seems like 6000K is most popular. Anyone had both of these and able to give input on what would give the most viewing distance and quality? I have ALLOT of country/county roads with not many street lights.
2. I read before that want 35w bulbs.. But I have also read (I believe) that you can put in a 55w and it will give you a stronger light. Is this true and workable on our bike?
3. In interest of trying to help the forum, I clicked on the projector beam headlight banner ad that shows up from time to time.. HID projector KT-MT5
There are allot of grammatical errors on this site that cause me some pause. They show a kit for the 6R at about $89 vs the $150 from Retrofit Source.. Anyone here by chance get their projector from this site above?
Thank you!
