Thanks for the links on the relay ebbs..

If this HID is really only 6 amps startup.......then I probably wouldn't need the relay........But I dunno, seems hard to believe.
Oh and then they drop to 3.4 amps, I think... Heck, I ran 100w bulbs on my '03 without incident... In fact, no bs but I haven't even bought a bike battery for at least 15 years, I don't think. Of course, I've only owned Yamaha and Suzuki in that time frame so...
