Brake Bulb
07/07/15 at 11:26:36

Hey guys, I have two questions. The first is really really simple but I'm at work and have none of my manuals to help here and need my partner to pick up a part.

Some jerk stole the rear brake light bulb from my bike last night. I found a suzuki part number but that doesn't seem super helpful at Napa or Autozone. Does anyone know what bulb I need? Local shops only seem to have replacement bulbs that don't match the wattage on the OEM parts and they're $20...

Second, anyway tips on preventing this? I suppose I should just keep spares as I have to park on the street.

Thanks for your help!

We had somebody steal the bumper off one of our trucks at work. They even left us the bumper bolts.
