Headlights

[LORAZEPAM]

How long do you get out of a headlight? I have installed the second one this summer, (3rd counting the one that was on the bike). I have only 10k miles since may 1st, and dont recall ever going through headlights this fast ever. I am using just a regular 55/60 watt bulb I get from the dealer. No headlight modulator, and I usually run on low beam except at night to see.

I usually get well over 20K miles on an H4 bulb. You might try a Philips Vision Plus or Osram Silver Star for increased light from standard wattage.

I'm on "only" my second bulb with 39K miles on the bike. The first bulb lasted somewhere around 24K miles if my failing memory serves me correctly.

Other than replacing one bulb on my used K bike (~15K,IIRC) I've never replaced a bulb on a bike yet. But then I usually find something I like better before they burn out. (I have 4 "spares" now).
I'll second Frank's recomend on the Vision Plus's. Have a pair in my Triumph and love 'em. They're going on 15K now.
