Eastern Beaver H4 Headlight kit

[Lawrence]

Flush with success installing heated grips on my 1985 K100RS, I jumped in and began fitting the Eastern Beaver headlight relay kit too.  At the end of the day, I had to admit failure. I can't figure out how to extract the bulb's connector! First off, it's damn near impossible to reach it due to the fairing bracket.  Even when you get a few fingers on the ass-end of the connector, it refuses to budge!  The rubber cover seems to be vulcanized to the assembly.  I've never encounted anything remotely as difficult to extract.  Is there some secret trick?  A special chant or prayer?  I'm  afraid if I get any more forceful, something expensive is gonna break.
A related question: the 1985 K100RS has an H4 bulb.  A single bulb.  The Eastern Beaver kit has two connectors,  one of which has female-type connection and the other is male.  There is not any obvious way to connect both to the single H4 bulb, so what's one to do? Is this kit designed for multi-model use (i.e. headlights with two elements) on bikes other than 1985 K100RS?

Male goes in your existing headlight plug. Plug the new headlight into the female plug. Attach hot wire to battery and ground wire to frame. Thats it.

You're on track to get the connector off, some can be extremly difficult to move and of course seeing them is just as difficult. I actually had to remove the bulb from the light and then get the plug off on one occasion.
Doing the Mexican chicken bone dance while standing on a dead Harley can some times help but usually the harley just crumbles to dust, It's worth a go.

Contact Jim and tell him you have a K. It sounds like you might have the wrong relay setup.  Jim owned a K100RS for a while and understands K bike wiring very well.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm not much of a dancer, but the chicken bone may be do-able.
As to the # one priority - removing the H4 connector - my bike as a rubber seal over the back of the reflector and the connector .  Should the connector pull back independently of that, or should I be trying to separate the rubber seal off with the connector as one unit? 
Jesus! And I once groused about the complications involved in swapping bulbs on my R100RS.... sheesh!

Pull the connector off first, then the rubber boot.  It's the only way to do it.  Then there's a ring to twist CCW to get the bulb out.

I sprayed the area generously with silicon lube, let is sit a bit, then I used two stubby screwdrivers to lever each side of the connector as I stood astride the bike.  I won  ;D Jobs done; I've now completed everything I had on the "to do' list since I picked up the bike.  I'm hoping for some good weather so I can enjoy the fruits....
A big thanks to all who have held my hand through the last few weeks to work.  I'm used to airheads and the K-bike is an altogether different cat.  A nice one though.  I've a good feeling about this bike. I think we're gonna spend many happy vacations together.  :D
