Slightly asthmatic old girl…

We stuck some whiter/brighter bulbs in which I’d say improved things marginally. I reckon crappy reflectors are crappy reflector regardless of the bulbs you have in there. But it looks more modern at night at least lol.

I’m pondering chucking the headlight unit in the oven to see if I can open it up, the brighter bulbs really highlighted the cobwebs and dust inside which can’t be helping it any.

Shame really because I was really impressed with the way this bike rides and handles (and now presumably goes?) for an old girl, as long as you don’t want to ride it out of town in the dark

I've tried the Philips Xtreme, and Osram Night breakers, and they're both decent bulbs, but wasted on these headlight units, as the reflective panels are simply shite.


I personally added 2 x 10w spotlights and they give out at least twice as much light on top.
