 Good luck Charlie,

Hell, even the instrument bulbs for my 72 CB100 are
$3.25 each at the
Honda dealer.

Hi All,
Ever tried to find six volt bulbs for an old
motorcycle? I can tell you
 it hasn't been a picnic for me! It took four tries
before I found a
 simple "bayonet" base bulb for the speedo of the
Falcone I've been
 working on. I still need a bulb for the "key
in/on" indicator light
 which is cylindrical and about 1" - 1 1/8" in
length. A British car
 website I found called it a "festoon" style
whatever that is. It's glass
 
in the middle with pointed metal caps on either
end. Only thing it says
 on it is that it's 6 volt and 1.5 watts. One from
a VW Beetle interior
 light is the right type but too long. Any ideas?
Trying to get this bike
 
ready to ride on the upcoming "Nostalgia Run"
Sept. 7th in Thurmont, MD.
 
Thanks,

Charlie.
