A contest to see who can get their earliest on Saturday morning will be harder on them, than on either of us.

Meriden - Irish? really? ok here is the test - lets hear you say "Irish Wristwatch" 3 times.

Especially after a couple Guinness - that should be entertaining

Re: HONDA XR650L OWNER'S SIGN IN

here's an XR question.?

just went out to start the BIG-RED-PIG

and it started just fine . so i started to check all of the lite system's

and the rear brake lite don't work

the running lite work's so i figure it's the bulb filiment

by the way it don't work also when i pull the front brake lever

so it's got to be the bulb.

i have a WESTERN-POWER-SPORT's rear lite

stock bulb is a 1157 .........i can get a 1157 LED at the flying J truck stop

about $9.99 are any of you using a 1157 LED bulb's on yer XR's

also do ya think it will melt the RED len's.?


INFO HELP requested........

THANK's

Re: HONDA XR650L OWNER'S SIGN IN

LED's run cooler than incandescent bulbs. Your only worry will be if the bigger LED bulb will have clearance to fit under the lens. Also I doubt if a $10 LED will be as bright as the stock bulb. Last thing you want to do is decrease rear end visibility. I vote for a trip to Walmart or auto parts and pick up a standard 1157 for $1.50. Then research an LED bulb with higher light output for purchase and upgrade later.

Another brighter incandescent option is the 2357 bulb. But it is higher wattage so heat and/or wiring capability could be an issue.
The link below also shows a comparison with an LED bulb.

I was wrong that WESTERN-POWER-SPORT bulb
is a 12v23/8w bulb..not a 1157 bulb
anyway when I took off the two nut's that secure it. the top stud snapped lose
from the plate and just kept on spinning.
it was a pain in the to finally get it off
don't ask me how but after it was removed i discovered
a real nice crack below the top hole about 1 full inch
right down the center,on the stock fender.
SO i put the entire stock unit back on (thank god i keep my stock part's )
and i think it is easyer to be seen (by cage's)

FIDDYK thank's for your info...
you going to do the GONZALE's ride..?
