I see gixxerjohn has not been on site since march, this is unfortunate as I would be interested in this conversion. I am curious though if the stock hi/low switch on the bike is still used for this mod.

actually mine works with the flapper, the bulb stays turned on all the time and a flapper opens up. it works fine at first but as you mentioned when it gets hot it acts up and i usually need to hit a big bump to get it to kick into high beam

Actually uchi, no the bulb isn't always on even if you see the light all the time... It looses power for a millisecond when you flick the switch... And since it's not off long enought to reset the ballast before turning on again, the ballast goes bonkers, and is either on, or off but draws huge current, and the soleniod gets starved and can't pull the shield... As I said... Easily cured with a diode that keeps the ballast from trying to reset...

thanks marcus ill do a diode setup this winter, ive got nothing else going on so ill include this in my winter tinkering.
ill send this link to john right now for you guys.
also, i changed my setup, i bought a projector that didnt work out for me and john put it in, his work was great, the projector i bought just wasnt great so the one i have now is much better, i was using a kit bulb and some projector that was from a car that im guessing was a halogen unit, but now its sorted out

Well i told you to go with the setup you have in there now, but you wanted to do it the other way.... ohh well, at least we know the stuff i told you to use, and i do use for the set ups is the correct stuff lol
archaicguy, you can do the work your self, but as most ppl who get into this stuff, they usually prefer not to do it solo, as its a pain/time consuming....
but if you decide you want it done, lmk, im sure we can figure something out
cheers

yeah you did, i bought the stuff originally and was gonna do it but you did a pretty solid job on it. and just so you guys know, john is very **** with these things, my light looked fantastic up close and even when pulled apart it was a clean install. this isnt one of those things you want to tackle yourself if you arent **** about lining things up. last thing you want is the projector to be in the housing a little crooked and your line is then twisted to one side
