Default Quick questions i.e. bulbs, exhaust

Looking at new bulbs for the Sv650S, i.e. nice bright bulbs with a nice white colour. Current yellow is horrible, but also not very bright! Not sure on which you all rate quite highly for good use.
Also looking for a exhaust, not too expensive i.e. not over 130 but not too shabby, current exhaust on last legs but want something that sounds ok but not a silly sounding one.
cheers in advance

Osram Nightbreakers. £12 from Ebay


Tbh if you can stretch to it, £185 delivered for a Beowulf warrior, supporting a very GOOD and very FRIENDLY and "do anything for you np" company.

If you're going to be a cheapskate you can get some Viper can from ebay for like £120 but they're crap... or you can buy an oval Beowulf for like £150 delivered or something.

If you don't want to go to the fitting of HID's then a good bulb replacement would be Osram Night (or day, I can never remember!!) Breakers. They are a much whiter light without getting conned on ebay! Not too expensive either.
JB beat me to it, Nightbreakers it is

Used... used cans are a false economy, normally most have been down the road and need repacking anyway.

New are the way to go unless you can repack cans!

Dave you still can't say aprov .. akramovizits .. azaraza... I need a drink...

Packing lasts ages. As for been down the road, well it tends to be fairly obvious...
I'd go for beowulf. I've fallen out with fuel, product is fine but they refused to sell me packing or tell me where to find any. They would do it for £35 though... Yeah pay me 5 days bike hire out of that too would ya...

Headlights. HID kits are awesome, but more work to fit.
For improvement then fit osram silverstars/nightbreakers or philips bluevision or something like that. DO NOT buy the cheap tat bulbs off eBay. They are simply low quality bulbs tinted blue, they look white, but just give you more heat and less light, utter chav $HITE!

Got my ART off ebay - £20!
Perfect condition and sounds great. Spent ages waiting to get one that cheap though.
