Found 45/40W NSR Bulbs for 85p!!!!

[Lee]

Hi all.

I was searching BCF for old articles on upgrading the late-shape NSR's headlight bulbs for brighter ones, and everyone was saying that the maximum they could find was 35W in the Bosch BA20D fitting. Well if it is any help to anybody i've found an online retailer which sells 45/40W BA20D bulbs for just 85p!! (bedspeed is about £5/£6 per bulb).

Click here to see the site (normalec.com) Note the BA20D bulbs are more than half way down the page, just press CTRL and F and type BA20D then hit 'Find Next'.

Hope this helps someone.

But wouldnt changing the bulbs to a brighter one actually make the light dimmer, as the voltage gonig through would still be 35w. and being as the filement will be different it will actually be dimmer. ??

Damn Honda and they're Bosch light fittings on the NSR!
Anyone ever tried to navigate a foggy nightime country lane with standard NSR lights?
45/40 sounds a bit high for an NSR-you might wanna check the fuse can take it and if the standard fuse can't then go for lower wattage-you don't want to knacker the wiring or melt the headlight "glass"

isn't standard 25/25? i think i upped mine to 35/30, which is the highest M&P did at the time.

i was comparing havingmore/better lights t NV goggles. visable light doesn't affect them, IR/heat.
I've seen a review of a diesal crosser for military use with a built in IR light source insteat...very nice!

hmm

on my NSR RK,(twin round headlight)italian bike, i have the headlight switch on the right hand side, i click it across once, sidelights come on, click it across once more the sidelights stay on and thats it, but if i put it onto high beam, the 2 bigger bulbs light up and the sidelights stay on?

Is that how it should work? cause me is confused

TGE - Your low beam filaments have blown, replace the headlight bulbs. The low beam should come one with the rh switch all the way over to the left and the high beam button off.

FFS! Ive just put all the panels back on!

I only had one bulb working in the first place i thought it was strange, but they both work with full beam on!

I have one spare bulb somewhere.
