Good luck Charlie,
Hell, even the instrument bulbs for my 72 CB100 are $3.25 each at the
Honda dealer.

Hi All, Ever tried to find six volt bulbs for an old motorcycle? I can tell you it hasn't been a picnic for me! It took four tries before I found a simple "bayonet" base bulb for the speedo of the Falcone I've been working on. I still need a bulb for the "key in/on" indicator light which is cylindrical and about 1" - 1 1/8" in length. A British car website I found called it a "festoon" style whatever that is. It's glass in the middle with pointed metal caps on either end. Only thing it says on it is that it's 6 volt and 1.5 watts. One from a VW Beetle interior light is the right type but too long. Any ideas? Trying to get this bike ready to ride on the upcoming "Nostalgia Run" Sept. 7th in Thurmont, MD. Thanks, Charlie. |
