That big unit will not work very well on either of your bikes. You need to get someone to build you a set-up so you can put it under your gas tank. That unit is way too big. The next thing it is not high & low beam, only low beam. What would be the use?

Ok I understand you saying it's too big, but what's the use??? If it is bright as hell who needs a high beam!!!

Since you probably know I have sold a few hundered of them and I personally use them on my own bikes. You need a high beam. They install right into your existing lamp (glass thing). Again, do not buy anything but a hi/lo or just as I am writing this, you'll be sorry with your buying decision of just a low beam.

Howard two things, I did not see where it says what the color output of your kit is? 6000, 8000, 10,000??? Second I have a custom light installed on my Low Rider, so there is no original plug. How complecated is the wireing of your kit?

For your bike it requires special knowledge and skills on part of the installation. To eliminate the aggravation, I just tell the customers to send the head light to me. A special plug is used so the ballast cable can pass through the stock hole under the headlight.

The ballast and all cables are all coming out of the headlight so you just connect the harness, bolt in the ballast to the hidden under/between the gas tank & frame. Our member speedsnice has one. You can not see it!
