How big an ordeal is it to mount HID for the headlight?

Just ordered two led lights and a hemlet light, I think this will work well for single track night riding.

My '06 DE300 has the small ignition with the map switch on the bars.
When the Red River M/C Club allowed me to help them with the first Last Man Standing, I found myself running errands in the dark. (Like a dummy, I had neglected to bring my headlight to the meet.)
I borrowed a Trail Tech from a friend who was also working the event on his CRF450x. Within five minutes, I had it strapped on and plugged in. It worked great!

Good Riding!
Jim

For HID you need DC current,, the lighting on these bikes are ac I believe same as KTM. There is a conversion to float the ground and make DC or put a bigger stator in. get a bit more "juice".. I floated the ground on my old 97 which had the ducati energia stator that is like the Eline add on systems.. Had about 160-180w of usable power. I was running an65-85 w halogen hyperwhite osram bulb in a ufo ghibli headlight on that bike.. it was nice at night..

LED is the future. Good now and getting better, not quite up to HID but a lot of white light for very little power consumption. Large input voltage range as well, so you can get by with a rectifier and capacitor instead of a battery and regulator.
