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.
