Cyclops bulbs installed for both Hi and Lo beam.
Have not installed resistors yet - initial garage test had both working without the "flashing" issue I experienced with the OPT7.
Against the garage wall, Lo beam has a clear cutoff, while Hi beam has a full spread downrange.
Next step is to connect GS-911, clear any codes, and set a baseline, then test ride.
This is good news. Keep us updated.
UPDATE / UPDATE
Set baseline with GS-911 and had successful daytime test ride with no "flashing".
No codes thrown during the ride.
I am holding on to the resistors for seeing what happens in the next 1-2 weeks of normal riding. The guy at Cyclops did indicate that I could return the resistors if they are not needed, and also wanted confirmation of my experience for 2016 R1200RS so that they had addition to their knowledge / experience base.
As far as I am concerned, don't wait - just order 'em, GOG...
I plan on a "dark" ride this evening to see what the illumination is at night.
UPDATE / UPDATE / UPDATE
Night ride test complete - definite improvement over prior setup.
As I said - just order 'em, you will not be disappointed...
