[QUOTE=Dennis menace;552927]I just re-fitted a Hawk HID unit to my 1992 750SS. At only £17 QUOTE]

Or £21.98 inc postage. Do you get one or two bulbs for that?

Interesting conversion and definitely worth a punt, although a few have tried HID units in standard Monster lights and not had great results, on account of the poor reflector/lens.

I remember the lights on my own '92 750SS. Riding that at night was like sliding down a ten foot razor blade, using your balls for brakes.
Not only did you need a white stick, but the dip switch was so close to the headlight switch, that I actually turned the lights right off on a couple of occasions instead of dipping.. I had a total of one ride in the dark on that one.
Great in the daylight though.

It did make my Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport look good though. It did away with electrical lighting all together and employed a torpid glow worm. This negated the need for a switch too. You just had to wait for the mating season.
