I have a 2011 R6 - candy red. I bought the bkmoto kit with dual halos & demon eyes. I already put audi-style LED strips on [the outside between the headlamps and fairing] so I didn't need those. I have them hooked into my blinkers so they alternate-flash with my flush mounts which I love.
Let me start off by saying this mod is not for the squeemish, which may be why he charges so much to do it for you. You have to take all of your fairings off, which on the R6 can be a pita for the couple of large side pieces, completely disassemble the headlight assembly, which includes using a heat gun or the oven (I opted for the heat gun), and assemble the kit - which is really not easy. It would be so much nicer if the plastic piece you put the halo rings on actually had some kind of slots, or backing piece for the rings to be mounted on. It's a challenge to get them on their correctly. He makes it look easy in the video (he's had practice) but it's tricky. Also, it would be better if the halo rings were LEDs instead of CCFLs. I cracked one of the halo rings when tightening one of the lights after leveling. What's funny is he says in the video to be careful at that point, and a momentary lapse of concentration was enough to do it.
I called him to get a replacement. He answered the phone and quickly took care of me - sent a replacement out the next day (I had to pay for it of course).
The section in the video for the wiring is for a different bike, but it's similar. Would be nice if he included a note in the kit that provided details on what to do for the R6 as most people don't want to take the chance of frying their bike's electrical system. Would save him a lot of questions after.
Using a heat gun to take apart the head light assembly really wasn't as bad as I thought, nor was putting it back together. But, I must have touched the inside of the lens at some point and didn't notice it until after I got the whole bike back together, so there's a little bit of smudging on one that I can't get rid of unless I take it all apart again - blah.
The other challenge is what to do with all of the electrical components (there are a LOT) after you hook it all up. There isn't a lot of room to fit all that stuff and you have to be careful it doesn't get in the way of your steering.
I had an issue with one of the inverters for my demon eyes not working. I emailed twice and called & left a message and have still not gotten any response. I ended up buying a pair of inverters from a place in chicago for $9 free fast shipping so not a huge deal but would like it to be resolved.
All said and done, I'm really happy with the results. Hopefully the bulbs last because I don't want to have to get back in there again.
