Yeah, everything I looked at was slim ballast, but a hi/low kit may require two ballasts or some kind of relay...that's a lot to pack in a small area. Also, heat can become an issue like that.

I'd be leery of running a single HID on a bike unless you have some regular lights as backups. One of my mom's friends just died in bike wreck because his one and only light (Halogen) went out when riding at night. Went into a ditch and didn't make it back out. HIDs can be finicky sometimes, not something you want on a bike.

I have a high-low kit on my truck and did on my previous truck as well. They only have a single ballast. So if you get one with a slim ballast, there is a good chance it will fit. There is an additional relay, but is pretty small. I think it'd be worth doing!

And like Morgan said, HIDs are notorious for being temperamental at times, I wouldn't suggest running a setup that consists of a single fixed beam HID, just for safety reasons in case it does go off even one time
