    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Shift light bulbs and headlight

For the headlight bulbs you should purchase a motorcycle bulb. Apparently the automotive bulbs are not made the same. I recently read somewhere that they are not made to withstand the vibration and shock that a motorcycle endures. I guess you pay for what you get.

Can't say I've had a problem with that in the past, except when the headlamp mounting rubbers needed replaced and vibes were being viciously transmitted to the headlamp shell. Apart from that, all my H4 halogen bulbs have been car sourced, and have lasted well.
Otoh, I tend to look askance at many of the really cheap H4 bulbs available now and wonder how long they'd last anyway - I think it's fair to say that in real terms I was paying much more per bulb back then than many people will be spending now.
So, I'm kind of agreeing with you - pay more and get a decent one that will last.
