Good write up Blue but damn it man I am almost done rebuilding my F2 and now you got me thinking that a HID kit would be a good way to go since everything is already off the bike. Damn it man!!!!!![>:][:@] My wife is going to kill me with my own bike. She is a understanding woman, hopefully. Good write though.

^^ Do you have 1 headlamp or 2? Either way, it's damn well worth it.

Blue, do you have any pics of the beam pattern? I've seen pics looking at the headlights, but that doesn't do anything. I need to see pics of the HID setup looking at a wall or something. I'm curious how crisp the HID beam pattern is when compared to the OEM Halogen pattern.
Better late than never (LOL): The beam patterns are the same. The bulbs aren't what creates the beam pattern, it's the headlamp reflector itself. The bulb (whether HID or Halogen) is just the source of the light. This is contrary to those people who believe that the ONLY way to use HID is in projector form, which is COMPLETELY false.
