I installed HID headlights on my bike tonight. I bought a H4 bi-xenon kit and a H7 kit from HID Kits | XenonDepot HID conversion Kits | Xtreme Xenon Light Kit| Projector Halo Headlamp | LED Tail Lights | Xenon Bulbs and ballasts. I mounted the ballasts in the front fairing. Below are the pictures, let me know if you have any questions.

No projectors?

Nevermind. The beam pattern tells the story. Don't mean to rain on your parade, hope you enjoy them.

Looks good. Projectors or not they are still a hell of a lot brighter than any ultra white bulb can be. Just make sure the glare isn't too bad for on coming drivers and your set.

I managed to aim one side properly but the other wouldn't focus in a way that it could be bearable for the oncoming traffic. So I took them off and used a pair of Philips Xtreme +80 bulbs. Not the same output but I am happy with their performance. I decided to do the projector retrofit at a later stage though

They are 6000K. I originally wanted to mount the ballasts under the seat, but I would have to extend the wires otherwise. Everything is hidden under the front cowling anyway, so you can't see any of the wiring/ballasts.

Sorry, I originally wrote that they were 8000K.

Yea I got a Euro Effects 8000k HID kit off ebay for 150 and it looks similar to what you got. I did the same thing on the install too. I got some good industrial strength velcro and taped it to the side under the front cowling.
