Even though I've got the HID installed on mine, Vishnu, I'm extremely interested in this upgrade to your kit. If you need a tester...I'm your man...lol. Any idea on a price yet or availability? :thumbup:

It does seem that way, doesn't it? But I'm still here too! Granted, mine doesn't LOOK like it did when I got it 5 years ago (sniff...just realized I picked it up February 1st, 2007), but it's still my only bike and I wouldn't dream of selling it! Oh...and put me down for THIRD on the Ohlins...

Haha, I think you're right Cliff. All I heard was "less wiring" and I was good to go...lol. I kept going over and over it in my head over the weekend. Then it just hit me...extend these 5 wires and you're good to go. Bam...just like that. I'm not completely happy with the location of...

Some "action" shots... The relay, under the seat. I still have a good amount of space under there.

Success!!! After sleeping on it, I had an epiphany where I seem to have all my great epiphanies (in the shower where you can't write things down!!!) :rolleyes: I realized that if I extended just 5 wires (the fused power wire, main ground wire, and the 3 wires for the bulb on the harness...

That's no a bad idea, Cliff. I may take you up on that offer. Let me chew on it for a bit and I'll PM you if I decide to do it. Like I said, in the interim I'll just install your relay and go with the higher 55 watt bulb while I wait to see about Vishnu's projector upgrade. Again...

If I can find it, you're welcome to HAVE it. LOL...seriously, I wouldn't dream of asking for money for something so small. I'll have a look around tomorrow, and if I can find it, I'll let you know and send it out. I think I still have it.

Thanks, Cliff. Yeah, that's what I was afraid of...lol. At this point, I'll probably just go ahead and wire up the halogen bulb (with your relay so I can upgrade to the 55 watt bulb) and wait for Vishnu's upgrade to the projector. No big deal, really. I'm serious, though...thank you...

Defy, I had one of these for a while and it worked out well. The only reason I switched back to the stock one was because I had the blue one and it started to fade from the sun (cheap anodizing, I would assume). But performance-wise, it worked just as well as the stock cap. Maybe try the...

Yep, only two pins in there. And I would assume the fused wire on the other end of the harness is the power wire (since, when we hooked that to the battery the other day when testing the light, it worked perfectly). That little plug you're asking about goes to the headlight. I took a couple...

More pictures to try and explain things further... I tried something. I hooked everything up as-is, but DIDN'T connect the fused power wire on the HID harness (I wanted to see if the bike would run the light without it being connected). Nothing. The hi/lo worked in that it would move the...

Hey, Cliff. In thinking about what you said about attaching the hi/lo beam stock wires to the red connector, what would be the best way to do that? I'll try and get a shot of the connectors inside the red plug, but if you were doing this, what would be the route you would take?

Cliff, you explained that perfectly. That really helped! And no big deal on me not understanding. I'm not the most electrically-inclined person, so this stuff can get confusing quickly! Vishnu, I would be REALLY interested in that upgrade. This would require the "baking" of the...

Whew...we're getting out of my pay grade here. Most of what you're saying there is complete Greek to me...lol. Obviously I know which wires are which on the stock harness...and I know which wires are which on the 3-prong plug in the right of the photo...but we're talking about eliminating...

Wow...I think I'm understanding, but to illustrate and make sure, here's a couple more pictures... If I've got what you're saying, then I don't need ANY of what's on the right side of this picture? All I need are the things on the left side? What's confusing me is the 3-prong plug...

It does have two of the plugs. The main one is the one you see in the upper right that comes off the one ballast. The other one comes off the black block-like piece at the bottom of the picture (you can tell what they are by the yellow "rings" around the end of them.) Should I just tape the...

See post below...

Man, Cliff to the electrical-rescue again! I'm going to be swapping my stock signals out for some Rizomas soon, so this little bit of kit will come in quite handy! To make sure I'm understanding it correctly, Cliff, this just replaces the flasher relay that was originally mounted on the...

You know, I'm blind...lol. I went and took a look at mine after posting that and, whaddya know...I've only got the one wire coming out of that side too. LOL. Well, I am blonde! :D

PM Wavex...that's his old bike (one of the ones that started all our naked obsessions!) It's been a long time, but I believe that might be a GSX-R headlight with an aftermarket fairing. He'll be able to tell you all about it. He's got a Buell now (another bike I lust after), but he still...
