The only complaint I have about the Cobra, 25 watt bulbs. Can't find them anywhere except Kaw dealer or Cobra. I'm hesitant to put any hotter ones, don't want to fry any wires.

Hey Daryl:
Yeah, I spent a lot of time on the Volusia forum learning how to do stuff to customzie my C50. Great bike, good price and easy handling...but I wanted more POWER and the hardbags. I'm sure, like me, you're lovin the Nomad. I've had mine two weeks and just put a couple hundered miles on it this weekend cruisin from Wilmington DE to Annapolis MD...great ride despite the cooler temps. Welcome aboard. |

Yeah i had a spot go out yesterday on my Cobra bar. the spots use Honda filaments and are about $8-9 a pop. easy to change out. I haven't seen a 25W sealed beam but if you could find one you could just switch em out. I think the vibration must wear the filament out. Another member on here subed 30W spots and started blowing fuses. Watch Out!

Hey Doc, I got it wired in a seperate circut with a relay and fused it according to Gadget's page. If I blow fuses can't I just replace the fuse with a higher one?

About 3 weeks ago cobra finally released the oem bar to kawasaki for the 07s. That's what i put on my 07. Looks great and pretty easy to install.

Went to dealer today and bought bulb. I asked about sealed beams ( which I ordered last night on line :'( ) and he told be they don't plug in the same way and I would have to install a different connector. The guy on line told me they plug in the same way as the bulb. I guess I'll find out in a couple days.
The dealer also said the sealed beams are no where near as bright.

I know Cobra sells the bulbs. Not sure how much. I pay 6.99 at the dealer.

kawgirl, Yes that is the ski jumps at Lake Placid,NY. Did you go up in the elevator and walk out to where the jumpers takeoff from. Those guys are crazy. You sure do a lot of traveling. Is most of it on the bike?
Doc , I'll let you know if I install them. I may just send them back if they plug in differently. the dealer said they were no where near as bright as the bulb units I have now. I don't think I want to go dimmer. I want all the light i can get.
