This is a constant complaint on this forum

There are some aftermarket bulbs that improve the stock lights, but nobody seems enthralled with any of the solutions.

I have Philips Blue Vision bulbs. They increase the lighting moderately, but the big advantage is they are highly visible to oncoming vehicles.

I am using the Blue Vision bulbs and do find them better than stock. I am anxiosly awaiting the result of SnapHappyuk's experiment with the new Motovision bulbs. See the new topic over in the "What's on your Tiger" section.

Come on Clive. Please try to use the correct words. "There" might sound the same but it means something completely different. :hammer: :hammer:

Nice to see a bit of pedantry being introduced here. Far too much of this sloppy stuff going on. We are after all Tiger riders and have therefore to keep up our standards otherwise we might be confused with bikers.

First went to Le-Mans when in fact it was the Bol'd'Or in 74 and carried on untill early eighties,and then started going again in 94 and have carried on since,mainly because there's not much else,race meeting wise.

Take no notice of BT's english lesson,we all know what you mean,thats all that matters,i've had the same from him.
