Default 08' CBR1000RR Bi-Xenon Dual HID Retrofit

Just wanted the CBR1000RR to look a lil bit better. The lines of this bike have really grown on me and I actually like the way it looks now. The performance is just outright stupid for a stock bike. Anyway to the topic at hand. I just decided to do the dual bi-xenon retrofit because I can't stand the whole one side of the headlight on and the other off BS. It just looks bootleg as hell in my opinion. So I decided to change that. With a little help with the guys over at another forum I was able to do so. So here ya go. I'll take some more pics in the morning with better lighting.

The Before:

The Progress:

The After (Blacked out housing):

Cut off Line with bike on kickstand:


Now on to the undertail and getting some money for this Full TI Evo ACTRIGHT Exaust... anyone want to pay for a cup of $2100 coffee... please send it my way lol.

Fantastic work! What HID housing(s) did you use? I've heard the S2K is supposed to be a good retrofit... Put some tinted film over the headlight covers, and would add a nice touch during the day.

Awsome though, love the blacked out housing...

Man I just used a cheapo ebay kit for $105 and slim ballast for $40. $7 for air duct foil tape (I cleared out the ram air internals and had to tape up holes and places excess wiring above ram air ducts). 3 days on and off work (Hey I work 8 to 5 and don't feel like spending my whole evening working on my bike). And a pissed off girlfriend for trashing the garage. It was all worth it though .

Basically just about every car projector is too big to fit without completely hacking up my headlight housing. I didn't feel like doing all that so I just bought an H7 kit and called it a day. Screws right in. Here's the link if you ever feel up for the job.
