NC23 Sidelight bulb where to find

Post by willpisme » Wed Aug 01, 2012 12:17 pm

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

On my Tri-arm I'm pretty sure it's in between the forks underneath the bottom yoke.

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. :peace:

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

Which ones and are they any better than the standard bulbs - distance of light etc -

i cant stand riding mine at night anymore as the standard lights arent v bright are they, so interested in swapping over !

Do the bulb holders/wiring need any mods?
