Last month in OK while riding near Davis my low beam burned out. Honda is out of stock (44 year old bike). Fleabay has some, they are expensive, and all are used like mine was. NOS nowhere.
I watched a YouTube where a guy bought a hole saw and repaired his 6v CT90 with a bulb, a socket, and a hole saw. He had already done a lot of the leg work and it was an hour job once I had acquired all the parts I needed.
Tools required:
Drill
Soldering Iron
1 3/8" hole saw
Heat shrink
small diameter drill bit
Wire stripper
12v bulb 25w or so
socket that fits that bulb
I had the tools except the hole saw and bought that at HD for about $30. The bulb and socket were ordered together from DrAtv in Beatrice, NE for about $18. I posted the invoice so that you can see the actual ordered items I used. The complete repair took 1 hour.
Here is what I did (but look at the YouTube CT90 video).
Cut the wire from the back of the bulb and then drill a pilot hole in the middle with a small bit, 1/8" I think. All you are trying to do is center guide the drill bit in the hole saw. Then use the drill bit from the hole saw.
