Well Ravenbyrne did, I supervised :D

Bought a 35w CanBus dipped beam & a 'fast start' 50w high beam from Les Wassall of this parish
Everything arrived promptly & well packaged
And then I just had to persuade Brian to fit them
I haven't been out in the dark yet but the bike is definitely more noticeable with the HIDs. And I've every confidence the nighttime will be transformed

That looks great I don't understand why LED wasn't an option on this bike, I missed them on my XR after the GSA.

LED should be standard on all bikes now,been there with HIDS and got fined in Austria for having them on my GSA,
got uprated std bulbs at the minute on my XR but might go with the LED H7 bulbs.?
 
Still if all else fails you could strap the lamp post to the front :)

You will need more than Just the H7 LED bulbs as they will blow straight away you will need some sort of voltage what's it thingamy
I know I tried it my self on an old bike. I haven't a clue about what is needed and thought H7 LED great, I'm having some of that lol they lasted about a millisecond
