StrRacerX Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I bought some HIDs from kragen for $100 each. They are 7 inch lights. I did the dc conversion and I installed a R1 tail light. check out the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrRacerX Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 yeah any info on how you did the install would be great!! well i used the following link as a reference: http://www.dunereview.com/electricalupgrade-1.htm this was a really good write up. I bought a motorcycle battery (forgot the amperage, but they only had two motorcycle batterys, i got the higher end) from kragen, along with a battery holder. I cut the holder and rewelded so the motorcycle battery can fit perfect. I then welded the holder to the frame. At the same time i shorten the harness put the cdi box, and regulator in the space in between the gas tank and radiator. I'll take some pics in the day time so everyone can see how nice it is not to have crap under the seat :ninja: I all ready had the 200w stator from Ricky Stator. When the coil pickup broke (about a year ago) ricky stator replaced it for free and at the same time float the ground wire free of charge. I had all this stuff seating in the garage for about a year and finally decide to get this thing going. This was actually a easy conversion, especially since the ground was all ready floated. I haven't tested the bike in the dunes yet, hopefully in the next couple of weeks i can make it to glamis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I have those on my banshee as well (got them for X-mas) they are quite the hot ticket. But I'm going to continue running my trailtech HIDs on the handlebars to fill in the shadows they cast. The beams are decent but not perfect. They are kind of a spot / line beam pattern, so nice floods on the handlebars helps. It was quite an experience duning with them last weekend (I forgot to take pictures though doh!). Setting one a click on the spline higher than the other helps apread out the beam. They were as cheap as $75 each when they were on sale + 25% off coupon I have mine mounted in the same place so try them out and let us know what you think. You know my experience now, looks like theres going to be a few banshees running them at glamis now showing the 4-stroke up with out old school mounting hah BTW my buddy tested the lights on a power supply and they ran down to 7 volts. Thats way better than the trailtechs I have which shut off at 10v and do not auto re-strike. They are not as stylish but thats ok by me. I'm running them with an Odysse 310 battery, I like your battey mounting though, it looks nice and clean.

Justintoxicated Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) BTW the ground is extreamly easy to flot on the RS even if you have one that is not floated, no matter which version you have (unless it is really really old). On some of them it's simply removing a screw (isolating the ground). The other version is not much harder but you need to re-solder that lead... However it is a little cleaner getting them pre-wired so you get 2 yellow wires. In the version on the site linked to the OP, I'm not sure why the author did not just solder the end of the coil to the black wire, instead he ran a new wire, but if your not going to use the ground, you could just as well have re-used the black wire.
