Title: Light Bulbs
Post by: forexer on February 23, 2019, 09:26:41 PM
Does anyone have a master list showing all the bulbs needed for our RD's - I'm looking for the correct bulb for the instrument lights

The old bulb says 12V 3amp however, I'm not sure which part number to order on-line

Thanks

Should be something BA9s in the UK, which is 12v 3watt bayonet, ask google!

I think A-72-BP is what I use for instrument bulbs.

3 watt, bayonet mount, "B" base

I found LED ones on Aliexpress for $0.25

I've changed all my lights to LED's, including the headlight. It made a big difference in brightness and easier on the charging system too!

The LED bulbs just replace the stock ones. Be sure to replace the stock T/S relay with an electronic one.

The headlight is the most difficult to fit, I used an Emgo headlight. More room for wire connections. I painted it orange to match the bike.

I kept a regular #1157 bulb for the tail/brake light.
