thanks on both counts. Have one on me, hell I'll buy a round for
everyone. Shirley, set em up for everyone!

I am so sick of being sick and then watching it snow and blow around
outside today. I sure hope one of those Florida jobs come through!!!

Oh, hell yeah. How long have we known each other? You know nothing bad
ever happens to me. I just hit the brakes, made a mean face and went on
about my business.

And then she got all excited, and said, "Keep him there, I'll pick him up
and run him home, it's time for a nooner!"

Don't know what model bike you ride, but I did that when I got my Road
Glide. Later I added the running/brake light kit to the tourpac. I thought it
all looked pretty good with 5 red lights back there when I hit the brakes till a
friend showed up with his Road Glide. He had the light kit in the tourpac, but
hadn't wired it in. I wired it for him & while checkin' it noticed that he
hadn't change his turn signal light lenses to red. The amber threw more light!
Side by side his was brighter than mine. Took about 30 seconds to swap my amber
lenses back in. Dumbass drivers won't see 'em anyway, but at least I'm given'
'em the chance..............<shrug>

Jinks,
Ridin a 1996 Sportster 1200S. It kind of limits what I can put on it
without makin it look goofier that it does with my big fat ass on it!

I am lookin into red led's with a reflector and putting a clear lens
on the housing. Now I will have to check out white led's with an
amber cover or amber led's too

Thanks

danl.

Searched the net high and low and can find no links referring to code
"E" reflectors for MC headlights, make, model or supplier? Plenty of
data for autos but none for bikes.

Was the reflector a straight swap in the housing with no fiddling?

How about those passing lamps. Any load equalizer or modifications
required for more wattage? Do they plug into the stock socket or did
you have to modify it?

I dated a girl like you in high school. She told me she had nice tits,
but would never expose them.

Pull up your ratty tee shirt & I'll buy you a drink.

The bike had it when I bought it . Frito can toss in more info , he
bought his . He's the one that clued me in on what mine is . I just knew
it worked very well . I just went out and got the info . It's a Bosch ,
the numbers are :SAE M76 DOT --space-- 1305 603 038 .

These are a sealed beam unit that goes in the stock passing lamp
housing . Screw terminal connections just like the OEM lamp .

He knows that, he's just saying he dated a girl like you. She was one
ugly bitch.
