Can't complain at all about the light-pattern of the VFR or GSXR, but the gix does bounce-around a good it more & can be a bit spastic looking, esp. on a rough road. Combination of being a more focused projector + the overly-stiff front springs, I think. I'm itching to throw in my HID's now - and proper springs + 25mm cartridges, for that matter (hey, there's my justification - safety equipment!

)

True story. I was worried when I started riding with a bigger group that my HIDs were messing with people so I made a point to check with people after the ride and they told me it didn't bug em at all. Said it was actually nice to be able to differentiate my bluer headlights from everyone elses.
