I'm sure it's possible to adapt it to our bikes, but I'm not aware of any wiring adapter that exists (i'm not sure why anyone would make such a thing).
Before you spend that kind of money, it might be helpful to read through this thread:

I've been running an LED bulb in my headlamp for quite a few months now, and couldn't be happier with it. It's a great upgrade if you're looking for better-lit roads.
Our lamp buckets were not designed for an LED, but the one I picked up seems to work beautifully (there are numerous H4 options out there; some good, some not-so-good).
In September, a customer brought their 2014 CTX700, bought from us, into our shop. They wanted to initiate a warranty claim for bad parts. (They had a "professional installer" replace their headlight bulb with an LED. It melted the reflector!)
Here's the funny part. FSVoF. (For some value of funny) They wanted to file a warranty claim for a defective reflective. :-) So they removed the LED and put the oem bulb back in. When they brought the bike to us, with the original
bulb, they denied there had ever been any modifications. Then they, husband & wife, went off on poor Honda manufacturing. Got a little carried away, IMHO. Since they had also had their dash LEDs changed, and some other LED stuff done, I looked for them on Facebook. They proudly showed off the LED headlight mod on their FB page. We didn't mention it to them. Just denied the warranty claim...which was "after" expiration anyway. They left the store complaining to all that Honda was a rip-off company. Swore we'd all be in court.
