tail light

[Blathian]

never really rided at night, but just noticed my back tail light is out, break light works fine. Can i get a new one at any motorcycle shop??

it is a standard 1157 bulb, can get at grocery store if you want

when you find out what it's number is

find some one that junks old cars and have them save you
a couple used ones from a car made in the 60's or 70's.....
They were better made and if they lasted this long they may
last for many more years
big and little singles are hard on tail lamps

and i have had good luck recycleing the old bulbs

if it says china on it its not an old bulb

Wow David that is a cool idea.
I have the same problem. I don't mind replacing the bulbs I just worry that the thing will go out in the middle of a ride and I will be invisibal from behind and not even know it. I think I found the solution I just ordered some extra LED running lights for the rear. At least they will be lit if the 1157 running light goes out

my stepson hauls old car to the junk yard and he is doing a booming
biz in recycled bulbs and i have been trying to get him to
sell the whole tail lamp sets from the old ones that are still good
on ebay as well as grill parts but he says too much hassel

I put LED taillights from LEDtronics in my old Triumph. A bit expensive, but worth it for peace of mind.

Drew,

I have a LED/1157 on my bike now, it does not burn out but it is not as bright as stock. I plan on swiching back to stock.
