Bushings will be here tomorrow!!!
« on: October 16, 2013, 09:10:00 AM »

This sucker will be 100% ready for my trip by Saturday.  Can I get the headlight bulb at the Auto Parts store?

Call any auto parts house, should be able to find it.

 :agree:I think 9003's are a pretty common bulb.  Should be at any parts place.

So, I got them on and still feel the clunk.   I checked all the bearings...at least as much as I could with it on the jack.  I think what I am feeling is just spots in the road...I can't think of what else it would be.  It doesn't happen over bumpy areas or areas where the suspension is articulating much.  Just mostly randomly over fairly flat roads.  At this point I am not too worried about it, the bike rides fine and that doesn't happen too often, I would just like a confirmation of what it is but I have put several hundred miles on the bike since I bought it and it's performing pretty sweet so I am just going to ride it until something falls off.

I get mine from candlepower....the 70/65 watt shown below. Engineered to hold up to trail riding, not pulling too much more current through your circuit. A relay would be best but it doesn't have to have one as the current draw is only slightly higher. The relay would be needed for sure if you went up to thier 85/80, 100/55, or 130/100 bulbs.

http://store.candlepower.com/64205.html

Excellent light output. Order a spare as you won't want to go back to a regular bulb, even a silverstar when it burns out. This is a white light bulb, not a blue light. I see they are sold out right now...I have a spare if you want one or someone else should carry one.
Look for a Osram Rallye 70/65w +50
H4 - HB2 - 9003 bulbs:     H4 bulb
Should be around 20.00.
