HID and LED, what do you think?

 

HID - questionable benefits with the old type of headlight reflectors

Blue LED on front - very questionable if I was police officer

 

I like it!! I'm 22 as well. That may have something to do with it.

 

Which kit did you buy for the HID setup and how much ?
I'm a bit concerned about "beam scatter" blinding oncoming vehicles..............
I have blue reflectors.........................and I'm a LOT older than 22

 

is your HID kit a telescopic type or a dual filament type? i wish i would have done a little more research on the one i bought and found a dual filament type because when i flip to high beams they bounce a lot, but are rock solid on the low beams.

also, the scatter isnt that bad with the older styled reflectors. would projectors be a billion times better for a solid cutoff? of course, but i dont see anyone of us doing a projector refrofit anytime soon.

 

To start off, I'm 35, age has nothing to do with it.
I didn't buy a kit, my brother had them laying around his garage, they were from a BMW he had totaled, a bit of work to adapt them to fit.
They are really bright, had to turn the adjyster all the way down.

 

Very nice man and I would not see the reflective blue being an issue , now if they
were direct to the eye blue from source , you could potentially have an issue. The
amount of bikes around here these days with "trick" blue LED's and other colors like
red and amber does not seem to provoke extra LEO attention either.

I would not imagine age has anything to do with it either, free country everyone likes
to try **** out sometimes

Maybe a little 7 inch flip -up LCD with Satellite TV ????

 

Just make sure its the waterproof model

 

I did the HID's for my '87, WOW the best MOD I have done. I have the 10000k which is blue, really blue. My light is very bright on low and hi beams. I am kinda worried about the on coming traffic. No one has flashed their lights to me, to turn the hi off(thinking they are hi beams). I also have the red LED's on my bike (front,back and sides) I put a bypass switch on them, in-case there is a hard case that pulls me over. I am over 35, kinda gives the helps when you get pulled over and the cop is yelling at me and then I take my helmet off. The cop is like.... can I see your licenses just to make sure you have a motorcycle endorsement. Then he says can you turn the red lights off and be on your way.

 

Man, I saw some guy on a 10r the other day with HIDs. The focker blinded me with them at 2 in the afternoon. That's no joke... the chit hurt my head. lol..

Doesn't mean yours would do the same, just an observation. I think your bike looks good. I've never really been into LEDs, but I know a lot of people like 'em.
