[ST] headlight bulbs

["Rich Rumble" <rich.rumble@xxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I installed "Candlepower" 55/100w halogen H-4 bulbs, in my '01 Sprint
and in the current '04 Sprint.  On the BB1K last year, going through a
two-lane forest road in Arizona, the high beam illumination was the best
ever I have experienced in 36 years of motorcycling.  I had also adjusted
the beam upward a little (2-3" below horizontal at 25 ft from the
headlights).  For once, I felt confident in being able to stop within the
illumination distance.  Fortunately, no elk wandered into view, as that
portion of road (Lake Mary Road) is in prime elk country.  Not to say that
other bulbs are not better, but those worked out well.  And, in about an
hour of continuous operation on high beam, no connectors were fried.  YMMV.
Those bulbs were $11.99 each at my local Yamaha/Triumph dealer.  Part
numbers on the box are H4 12V 100/55W, P43t-38, 4730.
