This is the text of an email I sent to Cyclops this morning:
I purchased a unit last January and finally got around to installing it yesterday on my 2014 NC700XD. It took an hour to get it to fit. I had to trim the inside ring on the rubber boot by a 1/4 inch to get to go in far enough to engage the adapter ring. I had to push really hard in very limited space with no leverage. Once the module was in it was so tight the headlight adjustment screw would not turn. The light on low beam was blinding so I removed the module and went with a brighter than stock halogen bulb. There is not enough space between the top of the heat sink/fan housing and the metal adapter plate, the white plastic collar is too short, to accommodate the rubber weather seal. I had high hopes that the module would be a simple solution to the anemic stock bulb but it didn't work out for me.
