Asian model ... Dual headlights ... Soooo much light now looks like an F18 on final approach :-o Probably cause the local Airforce to scramble some J4s ;-)

Bob, post some photos of your F18.

Dear Bob S,

Haven't heard from you in a while. How are you getting along with your JH600?

I love the idea of superbright HID headlights. Do you mind posting some details about what you installed, and where you got it? The stock lights are so dim as to be useless, even dangerous.

thanks!

I remember reading a thread on this a while back. in this post, humanbeing recommends some particular seller on taobao. I personally had a 50w halogen, but it melted the wires and now I have to go back and find something else that works.
good luck lighting up the road...

Hi, Slabo. Thanks for that reminder. I recall that bikerdoc also POSTED IN THAT THREAD about his HID installation, and his dissatisfaction with the narrowness of the HID beam and its lack of a high/low toggle. He was going to replace the HIDs with 130/100w halogens...

So Bikerdoc, have you made the change, and how did it come out. I don't really care one way or the other, as long as I get a substantially stronger and broader beam to light my way -- even though I've recently renewed my vow never to ride at night!

cheers

Greetings,

JH600 is running A-O.K. except for:

1: No load "missing" every few seconds when rpm is above idle to ~ 5000 rpm.

2: A crack now ~ 2 cm long in the fiberglass extending out from the fuel filler.

The dealer here in Jiangmen is useless

Not sure of the brand on the HID lights but... Made-In-China & purchased / installed at Mr. Motorcycle in Jiangmen.

Looking forward to my vacation home later this month & ride my newly purchased HD KR1200

Not surprised your local Jialing dealer sucks. No shop in China is trained or equipped to deal with the JH600. If you are still inside of one year since your purchase, which you are, and under 10k km, you are still under warranty. You might want to take it up directly with Chongqing, and have them send you a new tank cowling. I've got the part catalog (exploding diagrams) and could look up the part number for you...

Can you toggle your HID between high and low beam?

thanks

If you have email and/or phone contact for Chongqing please send.

HID toggle works but... Intensity seems the same... Photon Cannons

The best guy to talk to at Jialing Chongqing is Mr Zhou (Lao Zhou i.e. 老周), who is the after-sales service engineer for the JH600. You can reach him at +86 158 2335 5119. His English is pretty much non-existent, but he's friendly, and helpful, and responsive. Those are not universal traits up there.

I'm contacting THIS HID DISTRIBUTOR, as pointed out by slabo. They've got a ton of kits, and hopefully can steer me to a good match for the JH600.

good luck!
