HI,
does anyone know what bulb's my curvy (half faired) uses for the twin headlights? i.e is it a H1 H4 or H7? I can't seem to find it in the owners manual (it only covers the nakeds!) Ta Fenris |

Yes they are H4. If you are looking to replace both I recommend getting a pair of Osram Nightbreakers, they are the best replacement bulbs I have come across for the OEM headlight setup (I commute all year round using dark country roads).

I was very impressed by the Nightbreakers, I had Silverstars before which were good, but these are better still. Almost overcome the basic rubbishness of the SV headlight

Thanks all. I have the standard bulbs in, which is pretty much like riding with a small candle in each hand!
Just gone and bought myself some Motrax stuff from a nearby bike shop that's closing down nearby, Micro diamonds, an Rrsend, and some indicator fillers. I feel a weekend of swearing coming on, as I try to remove the tail lights! (which are siezed shut!) and the wires, which are too short! |
