Nah, I've got a veypor but not the HUD thing. Have to admit I've been tempted though.

Tempted to replace the clocks with a veypor, but I ride in all weathers and not sure if they're waterproof enough.

Fancy sharing where you found a HID kit for that price?

Same place I buy all my toys, Ebay This one is a HIDS Direct kit, http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/hid-products.html, the Ultra Bi-xenon kit which is usually £140. But I got it for £100 (I think I said £80 earlier, that was wrong. I also said it was a Hids 4 U kit, which was also wrong).

To be honest most of hte parts look the same as the far east kits you see on Ebay, though whether they are or not I don't know. The instructions are laughable, obviously babelfished from some other language, but that's OK, it's just "plug the plugs into where the plugs plug into"

Small electrical fire Caused, you will be pleased to hear, by bad luck and incompetence and not a fault with the kit. There will be a brief delay.
