    I have just noticed that my front light has gone( the one which is permanently on)
    Where do I get one from and how much? Is it easy to replace? Thanks.

    It's just a standard h7 bulb so anywhere that sells bulbs! I've swooped mine over to led's which I purchased off of eBay much better and brighter

    I use night breaker plus, good light reasonable value, When I have my low beam go I usually pop the high beam bulb over to the low beam and put the new bulb in the high beam side. My high beam hardly gets used and I probably go through 3 lows to one High.

    Is it 55w? I believe the 100w melts the housing.
    Can one swop them over or is the other one set differently?

    The bulbs are the same in each side, It's the housing that changes the beam.

    If you compare the night racer to night breaker they are identical.
    The night racer description is simply a copy and paste of the night breaker - with some changes to make it read for bikes but near the bottom the perosn repsonsible must have lost interest because it goes back to the car references as per the car version.

    Not sure what my point is, but I hope I made it clearly! :eek::oops:o_O
