Headlamp bulb (Read 13 times)

theikeman Senior Member Offline Live each day as if it were your last ... Posts: 344 Gibsonton in South Florida Gender:	Headlamp bulb 07/21/05 at 00:23:18 What replacement/upgrade bulb does a 1987 Savage require? ??? Would like a brighter/more powerful beam. Since I have to take mine apart, might as well do the change. Thanks Ike

Paid $16.+ for a pair at Walmart. I looked at the ronayers website http://www.ronayers.com/index.cfm & it looks like the '87 bulb is the same as mine, an H4 60/55 watt. 8)

I'll even put it in if need be. -WD Also have L.E.D. brakelight bulbs that have solid run function and "chase it's tail" stop functions. $18.95 plug and play...IF it fits the taillight bucket, won't fit every bike, just most, haven't tried a Savage fitment yet.

They're interchangable. These come in different wattages though & the Savage takes a 60/55 watt.

RideSafer.com has 100 watt high / 55 watt low bulbs for $15.

Can anybody think of a reason not to use them? Okay, they're not DOT approved, but so what? My cop buddies never write tickets for them - they don't even know how to write tickets for loud pipes. Other drivers will only see them in daylight anyway, and that's a good thing. I'm sure not gonna try to blind somebody with it. They'd just cross the center & kill me.
