Love the grips, I searched ebay and ordered some similar ones, but they were from a US shipper so hopefully they won't take as long as 2 weeks.
Great pics btw.

I also installed Bi-xenons to my scooter yesterday. They are great! I need to align them a little bit because they are showing a little too much left. Not center. And a little too low.
I also hope that aligning can be done without removing any plastic. It might bee hard to align them if you have to remove plastic. Then try. Then remove and again try etc...

Traveled to work this morning...around 2 AM and the HID's worked great.......I did notice some high heat feeling of the lens (plastic) maybe it will not distort the lens (melt) only time will tell...not much of a way to align the bulbs....you will have to remove the nose piece and trial and error...good luck....mine are so much better than stock...I can live with the alignment prob....enjoy the ride..

I did the alignment with this kind of tool (don't know what it is in English) The small one (3"-4" length) and screwdriver head-piece in that hole. Then you can use it with your hands without removing any plastic.
