JuXXtin Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Sylvania Silverstar bulbs w/Clear Alternative Lenses for the BB's trend-setting front turn signals. I heard comments that the "chrome" dipped bulbs are not very bright.... so tried these instead, they are great!

blackhawkxx Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The silverstar don't look amber in photo. If not, they wouldn't be legal but they look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The silverstar don't look amber in photo. If not, they wouldn't be legal but they look good. They illuminate a really bright amber! I had them on my 1998, working on amber LED's for the 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squareman357 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Nice. I was looking to replace the stock bulbs in the ZX-14 front and rear clear housings, and I didn't really like the dipped chrome bulbs I had on my XX, as they aren't that bright and harder to see in the day time. These will do nicely. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had them on my 1998, working on amber LED's for the 2001. Yup, Tox is right, they are amber when on "park" mode and amber when "flashing". Nice.

EVLXX Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Nice.... Yes some of us have been running them for years.... and some of us put a little piece of electrical tape over one of the Lightbulb sucket buttons, so our "park Lights" are NOT on all the time. Now if I could just get you to Build a roller bushing for that Clutch Lever.... A piece of cold rolled, cut to length, and a drill would work nicely. NBLB.

John01XX Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Front Signal Lenses on a US spec. Bird take the standard 1157 dual filiment bulbs, available just about anywhere in amber, many auto parts stores for Silverstars and a few auto parts stores for chrome coated amber bulbs.

What did you do to my bike ? It's Clicking Now ! Me:OH. Ah let's see... Oh found it... it's called grease... I lubed your Lever's while you weren't looking, and well since that clutch piston rod wore a small groove in your lever (because you have no roller Bushing)... now the grease is letting it pop out of the groove during full compression.... your fine. ...... Too bad you couldn't have stayed longer, I would have built you a new one. Great times = Great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I just installed clear, LED 1157 bayonet bulbs from www.ledtronics.com The bulbs are clear, illuminate amber and are nice and bright. Also installed a new flasher as suggested by Justin, worked like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
