HID Lighting?
JustinSB:
I was running a battery powered HID on my bike for night races. I've had problems with the battery and I'm looking to power it off the bike. Has anyone ran a lighting coil on the 500 and have any recommendations?
I'm running a 35w HID that draws 3.5 amps. I was looking at running the Electrosport coil. http://www.electrosport.com/products/product-detail-521.php?source=googlebase
Any suggestions?

That coil will not put out enough power to run your Hid. Also you will need a battery to run your hid or the light will go out when the rpms are low. There was a guy on here that was threatening to building a good coil for the kx500 but we have not heard any more about it. I wish someone would build a NICE COIL for the K5 but so far no luck.

That would be cool to add a hid light to my bike when the coil becomes available.

Cool . I sure wouldn't mind swapping my Hid between my Honda and my K5. It would be so cool ripping the dunes at nite with a reliable light with good output at every rpm. It makes me want to fiddle with the beast just thinking about it.
