Thanks Bill.
I had this 8000K HID for more than a year. It was meant for my Toyota Tundra originally, but since it has skinny ballard and it fitted inside the head light bucket, so I used for my bike ($60/a pair). Yes, it is so bright at night. Love it so far. But I did ordered the Ultimate Headlight bulb already. So I hope it will match with this LED ring.
Replaced 8oook HID/skinny ballard by Cyclops Ultimate Headlight bulb. Took out for a short ride to see how it is. Oh boys, I am afraid that I'll piss cagers off because of its brightness. But this is what I want to be more visible at night and day. on plus side, it kinda matches with LED ring too.

Damn, that is a perfect match for the LED ring,  really looks great...  :thumbs:

    Yeah it does!  I may be changing out my headlight soon.  The OEM lamp is way to yellow.

      Well my week of modifications is finally done.  My whole bike makeover includes the following:  Ivan's Flash, PCV, Ivan's Airbox Mod, Blacked out Cobra Sweeps (Thanks Beelze), Yammy Backrest, Custom Dynamics Truewrapz headlights, Kuryankyn Swingwing pegs, DDM HID kit, painted the belt cover and LED accent lighting. 

      I could make the joke that it feels and rides like a new bike, but that might not be too far from the truth haha.  These aren't the greatest pics but it was late when i got done tonight. 

      Now I just need to figure out how to add the little pictures to the bottom of my signature. haha

      Did my 600 mile oil change. Thanks to all the info on this sight. 'Twas a piece of cake. Than went for a ride and cracked the throttle just a tiny bit more than I did the first 600 miles..... Wow! I can't wait to get past 1,000 and go all the way!!!

      Thanks Ares!  Yes, I know she's dirty.  I rode to work today and got rained on.  As soon as I got home, I started turning wrenches.  I plan to have her spakling by this weekend.  Heading up to the mountains!

      Washed the mud off it after riding through two thunderstorms and then road construction covered with red clay.

      Bought black raised numbers and put on both coil covers. Pics not so great , sorry about the finger prints! Here is the right side.

      Where did you get these black numbers from? Could you please post a pic from further away?

      I like how they are subtle in appearance but when the right lights catches them they look awesome. The letters are raised off the cover. Also when the right person is looking at it they see it EVERYTIME especially the jealous HD guys!

      I got my numbers from the same place, chrome and it has the same effect.  If you look quickly you may not see it but if you are looking at the bike it becomes very noticeable, and the looks from the HD guys even more so when they see my 120.  I have had a few ask me what the 120 is and when I tell them Cubic Inches the look is priceless...  ;D
