Well....Until somebody with the Blue Lights on top of their car pulls him over and issues him a citation......he isn't going to stop.

Same reason I got HID's on mine... and if I stare at the spot mine shine's upon, most of theirs won't blind me.  That 4x guy must come around here too.

In fact, there was this goldwinger (at least I think it was) 2 fogs axle high and 2 headlights, all ultra bright.

When he gets ran over, the guy will claim he couldn't see, not that he didn't see him.   Huh

The light it produces is not purple, and you have to really look to see the blue tint when it's in the lens.
All I know is, with the stock bulb I was considerably over-driving the high beam at 50 mph, and now I'me not.
Added note: I drove around for 15 years with 100 watt driving lights in my Land Cruiser set to go on with the high beams, and 100 watt bulbs in my fog lights set to go on with the low beams, and never got busted. I also had a switch that would put both fogs and driving on at the same time. The 'Cruiser had quad lights ( a low and a low- high) on each side).
Unlike north american quads, all for lights were lit when on low, and the highs lit as well when on high, so you had stock 340 watts running with the high beams on. Ad to that the 400 watts when both fogs and driving lights were on and you have 740 watts. I could see everything!
It all appeared legal, as long as I didn't have the driving and fog lights on at the same time. The key is to focus them properly.

After the stock headlight bucket/mount broke, I replaced it with the metal version from a 450 Rebel. After it got squashed (stepson wrecked the bike) I switched to a 7" side mount. Much better... easier to aim side to side and up/down. Lets the aiming screw be for fine tuning instead of relying on it to set both vertical and horizontal and hold them there. I set the bucket as high as the ears would go toward the top triple tree. Works fine with a stock H4 bulb, is almost too bright with any of the upgrade H4 bulbs.

Looks better, works better. And lets me run a full sized tool roll off of the lower triple tree. Win win win as far as my bike is concerned.

For the record, it looks like the Savage and the Marauder use the same mount pattern.  The Marauder also comes with a 7 inch headlight.  So this should work... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-Suzuki-VZ800-Marauder-Chrome-Headlight-Lense-Buc...
