Default Front Light

Hi

Fresh owner of Dyna Wide Glide 2010.

Looking for help to fix my front light as the original one is hopeless.

Does anybody know what is the biggest in Watt manner bulb I can put into the lamp ?

Any tips more than welcome

Regards
Piotr

I have similar type from Philips but I wondered if it would be possible to use 100/90 W safely for electric system on the bike

This subject pops up over in the Touring forum as well. It might be worth calling in there and taking a look at recent threads. IMHO you should consider buying a new reflector first, then fitting a good quality bulb.

It is possible the stock wiring won't be man enough for that wattage. It would be a good idea to think of using a relay, so the bike wiring only does the switching and extra wires carry the power to the bulb.

xenon kit is back to the shop - it is made for cars, no way to fit all this bit and pieces

I'm going to try 100/90 W bulb
