I've got this one:

The light is REAL bright. You need a place to put the relay, ballast, and extra cable, but installation is two wires to the battery and plug the harness into headlight socket.

I did it got the cheapie at xenonlink, I beleive that the thread is in the archives, I used the larger all in one ballast, mounted that to the headlight shell, the unit I purchased has a HI / Low feature ( moving the lamp in a shade ) others have an h3 high beam
the kit was just over 100$ shipped, and included ballast, lamp&shade, control relay & wiring harnes, diagrams.

I used the provided bracket and beefed it up bolting it to the shell, the relay went into the tail and the fuse holder sets on the oil tank.
getting the lamp and its base into the headlight shell is a challenge but its do able,

one caution hid's under certain conditions may not re-start consider a re-start switch or get one with the h3 high beam
to date my lamp has gone out acouple of times at night, I replaced the ballast (failing wire in the whip) no issues since
having hid Hi and LO is nice and worth the extra trouble.
