Ran them in my Rhino (cheap, ebay HID kits) and if you know what a Yamaha Rhino is...they get abused pretty harsh offroad.
So, not only vibrations but jumping and bumping things never hurt them.
I'd like a set for my Bob, just don't know where I would mount the ballast. The ones I used in the Rhino were a little larger than a pack of cigs...

Here the kit I used on my RG. I have had them for over a year with no problems.

I run PIAA Xtreme White 110/100w H4's is all my scoots. Standards are 60/55w.
People that ride with us, are just AMAZED at how much light they throw.
We live in DEER COUNTRY major time.
I also run 60/60w spots, vs the 30w stockers, tapped into the dimmer switch via relays. (Has hi and lo beam spots)
IOW, that's 230w on High beam. vs 120w. YOU make the call.
Just make sure you KEEP them aimed properly. Lotta light is NOT GOOD if it's used to blind the "other guy".
Riding at night?? Slow down. Like I said, DEER COUNTRY !!!! H*LL, I even JUMP on the brake, for the friggin' garbage cans peeps put next to the mailbox. Sometimes they can appear to be a deer.

Anyone have trouble with stock wiring size when using the 100 watters.?.
Though I read last yr, when I waz thinking bout changing out to brighter bulb that several in here had said there wires melted, said they sometimes need to make sure there heavy enought to carry the load.
.
Melting U wires would not be so good ither..

I couldn't find one anywhere in Vegas.
Ordered mine through a local truck parts store for $37.00 + tax.
