2G headlight bulbs from Fine Motoring

You can read the details & see the results in this thread

Fine Motoring lived up to their claims on how much better the 9011 & 9012 HIR bulbs from Toshiba are over the stockers. Their shipping was VERY prompt, via USPS Priority mail. They were shipped out the same day I ordered them and were in my mail box the very next day. (May not be quite that fast for everyone since Fine Motoring is in Ferndale, WA which is only ~75 miles from where I live).

The bulbs aren't a direct fit, you have to trim a little off of one of the three tabs on each bulb, but they are marked exactly where they need to be trimmed. A few seconds with a dremel (or probably even wire cutters) and you're in business.

The difference these bulbs make is amazing - especially considering they don't draw any harder on the electrical system than the stock bulbs. At $30 a bulb, they aren't cheap, but they are worth it!

EDIT: I just got a thank you email from Bill Fox of Fine Motoring. Seems he's been getting several orders from Bandit owners, but for some reason, folks are ordering only one bulb. :duh:
Keep in mind to do the whole job, you need TWO bulbs!
A 9011 high beam bulb AND a 9012 low beam bulb.
