    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Headlight ?'s

I decided I need some real lighting, the ol' sealed beam on the 78 GS1000E just ain't going to cut it.

Other than going to a new 7" headlight kit, or salvaging one from the boneyard, that uses an H4-style bulb and then installing an Osram or Phillips bulb (which one is better - any opinions?), has anyone been able to use the headlight from a newer bike in the existing, older headlight bucket? You know, taken something from an SV650 or Bandit or something? I am really after a better reflector to go with the light.

Oh, no problems with wires melting inside the headlight bucket with the Osram or Phillips bulbs like you might with a 100 watt right?

Thanks for enlightening me.
 
I got an H4 conversion off ebay for around $25.00. (Cant remember where) Pops right in. Lots of light even with a stock 55/60 watt bulb.
If thats not enough, pop a Silverstar bulb in the new H4 housing and prepare to be amazed. :shock:

I went with a Silverstar on my 1150. Huge difference! The 1000 is next.
