RE: HID headlamps
I have the dual light setup kinda like the Mocos HID light so I decided to try out one of the HID conversion kits out there. I'll have to let ya know how it works out as I just ordered it Friday. Looks like a snap to install and a whole lot better then just putting in a xenon type bulb that could burn out in a month. I did a search on them in a few different forums and couldn't come up with any info good or bad so i figured someone has to be the guinea pig.

RE: HID headlamps
I have installed the H-D, HID headlamp kit on my RK. I love it and it works great!
I'm kind of a stickler for light and noise. Also just bought the passing lamps which have replace-able H-3 lamps in the reflector assy. Upgraded the stocker 35watts to the Sylviania SilverStars at 55watts each. Man what a difference that makes as well.
Only thing just besure that parts guy gets your HID for your EG, not for a RK! Makes a difference, install wise. Not over all HID. RK is not going to install right on EG and vice versa!

RE: HID headlamps
Harley is discontinuing the HID according to my stealer. Apparently there were not enough of us paying $500 for the light. Get one while you can.
As for the install, according to the instructions you'll need to pull the outer fairing, gas tank and pop a pin on a connector. You should have a Service Manual to help identify the connectors (ignition and right hand controls). I found it pretty easy since I had my fairings and tank off for painting.
