My firebolt problem

Postby fuzzy on Wed Feb 13, 2008 9:44 pm

One of the few things I really don't like about my xb12r is that the headlights are VERY dim compared to other bikes.

Does anyone have a suggestion for new headlights or some way to fix my problem?

thanks.

eh I tried that. still doesn't work. It's just the shape of the firebolt lenses. I'm installing an extra light on the bottom of the front fairing, just below the two stock lights. I'll post pictures whenever I finish

I just read on Bad Web that there is a recall on the 'Bolt headlights. I dont have any more info than that at this point.

I just got my letter too. I also just rode on a twisty tree covered back road last night. Talk about scary. The headlights SUCK! 35mph was completely unsafe...and 40mph was asking for death. I hope the new lights are better than this.
