Someone local to me is selling the whole kit pretty cheap. I kind of like how it looks, wondering if anyone has installed one on a GS so I can see how it looks, and hear the pros/cons.

Are you talking about one of the HID projector retrofits? Because weedahoe did an awesome one with the different color leds.

I am looking for someone who purchased the same or similar one, and fabricated a mounting system.

$50 bixenon projector and shroud
$25 4th Gen mini HID ballast
$20 for a pair of bulbs
$15 for a H4 plug

halo ring costs vary by type, size and manufacture

Either way, a lot cheaper than your link.

That is cheaper than i thought. This guy wants $65, unopened never used. I'm sure I can fab something up to use the stock light mounts, or possibly to the bottom of the top triple where the gauges will mount. (If I ever purchase any..) I have no headlight of any kind on my 91 after I took off the fairing it came with. Do you think it's worth it? Or is it just a headache waiting to happen?
