Yeah.........I changed my mind & have pretty well decided on doing both at the same time (my check for Steeler's tickets got returned for the 2nd time today so I've got a little more $$$ than I thought) Back to the GE/Cyber White lights........anybody tried either of these before?? The Cypber Whites were Xenons as well, at less than half the price (and ya know I have a hard time passin' up a deal like that )

I remembered Tim talking about that adapter in a different thread, and thought maybe that might factor into why the kid's 'puter was tellin' him H4 or 9003.....does it take those sizes if you leave the 'dapter on?? What exactly is the purpose of that adapter then?? In all fairness to him, he did show me the screen, so I can't blame him for the misinformation their system was givin' him

OK.........just went to buy some of these, but that just brought up some more questions. Several people on this thread and my other one about xenon bulbs have said we take the H7's. Guy at Advance Auto store just looked it up on his 'puter while we were talking, and he's showin' the XX takes H4's or 9003........not H7???? :icon_think: Also...........aside from the silver stars, I found GE has these ones I've not seen before......Nighthawks?? They were $10 cheaper per pair than the Philips. There were also these Xenon Quartz Cyber Whites by Navigator. They were $20 cheaper than the SilverStars. Are these by chance the ones you were talking about Charlie that you had gotten & said were just as bright for half the price??

If I'm only going to replace one of the bulbs right now with those xenons or silver stars, am I correct in assuming the better one to change would be the low beam, since it will be used in both settings? I guess I'm wondering if the new bulb in the low beam will still help make the high beam brighter

And this is a problem why??? Hello resale value!!

Both are within $5 of each other at most places. Just curious if anything better on one over the other as far as use/installation etc.???? Not interested in Throttlemeisters........neat, but too much dough ray me for my wallet

Wow.......it's nice to see Tim's chain question got more replies in my thread than my rim cleaning question did

I'll have to give those a try next time.........Lord knows I got enough of 'em around here now!!

I've been using it the last couple times to clean my rims with. Works great to get all the road grime/grease/brake dust off. Wipes right off like butter. My only concern is having it that close to the tires & brakes. I spray it directly onto the rag, then wipe........NOT spraying it all over down there, then wiping. Anyone else clean their rims this way. I've done it a few times, and so far, haven't noticed any slippage with the brakes/tires or anything. Does the lubricant part evaporate??? (Of course now I've just jinxed myself by saying this out loud)

That's funny..........I just tightened those bolts 'cause the mirror felt a little wiggly to me. Never in a million years did I think I was gonna have to take the whole friggin' mirror off just to change the damn bulb??? :icon_duh: I just figured the lense snapped/fitted in there..........Sure glad I asked you guys & didn't muscle it after all. To think........I almost stuck a flat blade screwdriver along the edge to see if I could pop it out Thanx for the responses guys!! And Adam.........Your's definately wins funniest/most creative (albeit least helpful )!! BTW.........so what size replacement bulb do I need? Clear, not amber I'm assuming? Thanx

OK..........dumb question, I know. Just went out to pop the lense cover to see what size bulb I need, as I have to keep smacking my mirror housing right now to get the bulb to work. Don't see any screws that need removed. Tried popping it out, but don't want to take a chance on breaking some tabs or the whole lense.......I have a habit of muscling things when they should be finessed

Mike........here are the ones I'm looking at. I swear I've seen "XX" ones similar to this before, but haven't come across them for some time. I asked this killerkawasaki guy if he has them or can get them, but so far he hasn't replied to me http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Sure Joe..........Have at it

:icon_needpics: Duhhhh!?!

Over 3,000 members, almost 40 views............and no one has anything??? :icon_think: Bump

Had this thread in the Pub few weeks ago. Thought I'd try here too... little different crowd............. Looking for chrome/polished barends with "XX" engraved on them. Closest I've found so far are "CBR" ones on ebay. I swear I saw XX ones within last year, but can't find them now when I'm ready to buy. Little help

Has anyone used those silver stars for their headlight replacement, and if so, did they make a noticeable difference?

I'm wondering if the nameless idiot was "Tim"?!? :icon_think:

Glad to hear so many are using 87.......now I feel a whole lot less guilty! As far as the lean/rich thing......that was something else in the back of my mind........if I've been using 93/94 this whole time, could it be contributing to my running rich/fouled plugs problems I'd been having???

My thoughts exactly!! I'm a tightass on consumeable stuff like that

What's everyone use..........the cheapy 87 octane, or the higher end 92-94 stuff. I don't know why I'm thinking I read somewhere that we're supposed to use the higher end stuff (thought I saw a tag inside the tank or something??) but now I can't find that, and wonder if I was hallucinating. Anyways.........been using the 87 octane the last few tanks, and so far, haven't noticed any discernable differences. I know Sam says he uses regular in his 'Busa

I'm really NOT crazy about the idea of spending another $40 on plugs.......total of $120 in the last 6 months.....especially when this last set barely ran for a minute or 2 :icon_wall:

Anyone got any advice on this? Think I'm gonna clean the first "new" set I bought back in October & pull the 2nd "new" set I just got last month since she won't start again. Ruled out sandblasting based on some feedback I got. Just plain 'ol gas, kerosene, brake cleaner, some specialty cleaner...........what do you/would you guys use????

Yeah........that's something I've noticed about it too. Never had a 6 pak before.......and I'm a long way from there now brutha!!

You'll beat me Melissa!! Just weighed myself.........UP 10 lbs from last Friday!!!! Played basketball for couple hours with my nephew & son on Sunday, and have run/walked couple times this week for at least 1/2 hour per. I give up.......with that kinda weight gain I may as well just become some fat sloth sitting on the couch continually eating a bucket of chicken
