Looks like it's gonna be a single order rather than a group one...

You are correct however, that you can't "flash" with the high beam, if it's a separate normal bulb. Additionally, if you tried, it would be fantastic for shortening the life of the bulb. Hence, I have a HID low beam, and uprated bulb in high beam.

Now you see why they actually have group discounts. It's to congratulate you on your success in herding peoples... Yours would almost be landing if you had ordered straight away

haha, you'll see.... how good I'll be able to see

One of the good things about having heaps of mods on the go, is you don't really notice the wait for parts.

Cheers, I'm keen for a dual beam one with projector, but maybe suitable for yellowdog?

So while the '11 STriple lights look like shite they work real well then?

Currently I'm in the process of over-engineering a holder for the one I bought. But since I just got the HID kit into an old FZR400 projector/lens so it is dustproof etc, I figured I would set it up next to the bros' stock light and compare beams.

My decent camera was out of batteries so used my shitty phone camera, but it still provides some comparison. Both on high beam, and aimed at about the same spot.

Us bikers need these installed. It needs 160 volts and at least 82 amps supply but sure some here could sort it.
