Another NOOB, so who likes pictures?

Just bought a bike after being without one for nearly 25 years. Here are a few pics







It's a 97, with a little over 22k on it. Took it for a ride this weekend and covered several hundred miles! I like it, lots......I think I scored a real sweet deal.

Anyone got a source for the little mini bulbs that light the instruments. It is marked 12v, 1.7w. None of the local auto parts places have them, weird wattage it seems. Thanks!

Bernie

Very sharp! I'm not sure if yours uses the same bulbs as my Daytona, but I've replaced mine with standard automotive instrument bulbs. I didn't pay much attention to the wattage though. I had some lying around and stuck them in and it worked great.

Where does that bike live? There used to be one here in Lincoln that color.

Regarding the bulbs, I just take my burned ones into one of our better auto parts stores here and they give me back replacements. The brand that they sell me is Wagner.
