NC23 Sidelight bulb where to find
Hi all,
Just about to finally get my NC23 MOT'd and on the road and found that one of the sidelight bulbs is blown. I am struggling to find one anywhere on the internet! Does anybody know where to get them?
Currently the lights work as follows:
switch at P - Left light sidelight bulb on Right light Nothing
switch at H - Left light sidelight on Right headlight on half bright
Full Beam - Both lights full brightness
Thanks for any advice

Re: NC23 Sidelight bulb where to find
dunno for sure.. confirm anyone?
if they are the same as the NC29 one?
5mm wedge bulb which means you can change them for LED bulbs instead..

On my Tri-arm I'm pretty sure it's in between the forks underneath the bottom yoke.willpisme wrote:where the horn should be mounted??
EDIT: For example http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cbr400rrj-nc ... ml#results REF: Number 1.
You'll end up using CMSNL a lot, I know I have done.

Re: NC23 Sidelight bulb where to find
yup as rob says the horn is located in between the forks and the bolt to mount it will be on the bottom yoke underneath
