HID kit was $79 shipped to my door (receipt in first pic) in 4 days from eBay. BlueFox recommended the seller in his HID How-To write up.

Nice work man. You'r going to love the HID's. I feel you on the garage. I have a two car with the 84 full size laying frame with 20's in one bay, the bike, riding mower, all my tools and one damn outlet! Needless to say this summer I'm putting in a ton of outlets and painting it to look like a real shop!

That's what I'm saying, right? Who the hell cares enough to build a garage and skips the friggin' floor or electrical outlets!!!
I'm pretty much done with the tank but it's dropped in temp here a ton (single digits), so I'm just not gonna eff with it. I need some kerosene heaters or something...
Thanks for the kind words, but the new paint is going to be a secret until I am finished. I have a bad habit of changing my mind (see my very similar, old F3 thread). I've got a killer idea coming along but the only bad part is that I'm having to rely on someone else... I hate that so much.
The only thing left really is the midfairings need to have some minor rash filled - no biggie. Then I'll be ready to paint. Tail section and front fender/upper are ready to go.

My buddy in the apt. below me just did his with Fiberglass. The side had a few nice size rash holes and a big crack in the upper. came out perfect and very easy/cheap to do.

Well, the way I did it last time was with that, "Plastic Weld" stuff. It's a two-part epoxy/resin type stuff and it's got an amazing PSI rating.
Very simple to use and mix, dries in about 15 minutes (sandable) and you'd never know it was there after some paint. I've got some fiberglass now that I've been effing with that rear seat cowl with - I don't like it! Maybe it's because I don't have the right tools (?), I dunno - but ti's not beennice to me!
You get that cage yet Tracking # still shows squat... I think I'm done with USPS - but it sucks because I've seen UPS guys tossing shit. I actually witnessed a DHL guy here get out of his truck, get ready to walk to the door, looked at the package and laid it down. On the ground. Next to nothing. Then left. I'll never use DHL after seeing that. What a dick.
Thanks for the kind words, laddy's. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of this snow shit (been snowing here since Decemeber 13th!!!!!!!!!!). I'll be getting shit going then, just sucks that I'm so anxious. I have absolutely no patience.

Havent seen the cage yet, maybe today. not too worried though cause i woke up this
moring to a fresh 4 in. of snow  figures its the day i plan to work on my bike too.
I just got the coils and harness i ordered to get her running again, and still waiting
on the seats from DemonChild... She is coming along slowly but surely. ill get pics up
soon when the weather permits me to pull her out and snap a few.
+1 to the USPS, the "tracking" number they give shows nothing, Just says that they
accepted it at the post office you brought it to.
as for the fiberglass, Thier really arent any tools needed except a small paint brush. the Key
was to do it in super light coats. I did the bottom of a canoe i had and it came out Perfect
and was water tight (kind of important)
I was thinking of buying another tail and rear seat and just fiberglasssing over the
seat to make a "Race" tail.

So, you will be runnin two HIDs, are you doing to leave the middle light hole empty? Or put a stock bulb in there?
I'm not real sure how the wiring goes on the 929 yet, (i need to get a service manual), but once I get some HIDs I'd like to have 1 stock low beam, and 2 HID hi beams. Or 1 HID low, and 2 HID high. If you don't mind, post in here or shoot me a PM on how you'll be wiring them up. Thanks

I'm just gonna do the two brights. I can't stand bastards that bright the shit out of me just driving down the street sooooo...
Should be super simple man. The OEM leads connect to the ballast, the ballast has leads that connect to the new HID bulbs... easy peasy japanesy!
The only reason I'm doing the HID's is because we do a lot of night riding around here and down to KC in the summer. Last year I was riding with one of my boys and he told me he had a surprise. We got on some back roads to take a trip to KC and he waved me to look at his bike - he flipped his brights on and it was like daytime! Looks cool as shit when they fire up too, jet-engine like.
Anyway, the HID's made a huge difference in comfort in night riding. It literally lights up the hole street. I've got another buddy who has a 929 (actually he has 4 of them, all Erions) - I'll post a video of one of our night rides here to show everyone. Won't be for at least another year though if this facking bullshit snow would ever stop...
