That seems to be where everyone mounts theirs. I couldn't mount mine there because I have LED's there.

They look great guys! Chad, I love that you painted the shroud blue to match the rest of the accented pieces on the bike. :thumbup:
The light output seems to be pretty much the same. What bulbs are you guys running? I have 6000K, but yours look a little more blue than mine. I also have to level mine out, but I've been so darn busy.

Thanks Robert, the blue is my signature. I had to black out the housing and paint something blue. I am actually running a 5K, because it is pure white. The blue that you are seeing are my side emitting LED's inside the headlight. I also have an angel eye behind the shroud, lights up the projector when the bike is off, and shines through the holes in the shroud. I leveled mine out, because I tested the lights on the bike and leveled the projector at the same time before sealing it up.
I agree, I put a ton of hours into this project as well, and I am glad that it is all done.

I would be up for that now that I have done it, but your bike would be out of commission for a while....

what kind of time frame we talking? just rough idea
Took me about 5 or 6 six hours and since I have done it once, I could prolly do it faster. Depending on how fast you shipped it to me, and I shipped it back, I would say for me to do it about 2-3 days. I would try to get it done as fast as I could because you would be without your bike. You will be doing all the dis-assembly and re-assembly so I wouldn't have to do that. Let me know bro, I will hook you up. Gotta order the kit too man. You may also think about trying to do it yourself, it is pretty simple, just time consuming and we all can help you.

That looks awesome guys! Cyclops of death!
If I decided to do a projector would my DDM Tuning 35w HID Ballasts be enough to power a projector? I'm guessing I'd need to do some wire splicing as the harnesses may not be the same. If I can just order the projector and use my existing ballasts that'd probably cut down on the cost a little for me.

35W is what we have so i would say yes
Sweet, I might look into this. Right now I'm the a$$hole who's blinding people with the HID in the reflective housing 
You would want to get the wiring harness too because it has the high beam solenoid wiring, and the relay. I would imagine all you need is the projector and the harness, I believe the shroud is included. Perhaps you could talk to Nate at the Retrofitsource and he will tell you what you need.
My HID kit has 2 ballasts and relay from the looks of it. I mounted 3 different things on the bike for it.

you might not get away with that here then...only thing we needed was 1 ballast and 1 relay
Well guess it's a good thing I picked up the HID on sale for $35 lol. It won't be too much of a loss to swap it out if I decide to go for it. If I ever get the $ to do it that is.

Hey guys,
Sorry I have been MIA on the discussion. I went home to my parents for Easter. On the ride back last night I got to try my lights. I dont think the projector is secure enough because you can see the cutoff line bouncing up and down. My gf was driving in front of me and she said it was really distracting. I guess i'm going to have to open it back up and try to secure it better. Maybe some locktite? What do you guys think? Anyone else had this problem?
