I am the proud owner of a 2000 Interstate that has recently burned out a couple of bulbs on the Tach and Speedo.  I havent been able to find any directions or procedure to replace.  I did see a posting about changing them out to the Sylvania bulbs but not how to do it.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Got to Dag's site, www.valkyrienorway.com, download the service manual.  That should help you.

got mine at Oreilly's I think the bulbs are 70 or 74. I can't remember and the bike is at home but they're very small bulbs. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I tried all of the recommended non-oem replacement bulbs and didn't like the fit of any of them.  The replacement bulbs were much smaller than the stock bulbs and didn't fit in the holder correctly.  I felt they would rattle around too much and possibly fall out of the holders.  So, I ordered the stock bulbs from the dealer and put those in.

I just changed the four bulbs on the instrument because the multi-display was had to see at night.   The bulbs I bought were Wagner #74's.  The whole instrument panel looks like new now.

Experience suggests it doesn't matter so much how you got here, as what you do after you arrive.

I didn't try any other bulbs.  I just ordered stock ones and used those.  It looks like new now.
Same thing Joe did.

That is really strange!  The bulbs should be pushed into a bulb holder (the bulbs are a bayonet style) and the holder is then a "push turn" that holds it in place.

Sounds like someone couldn't find the correct replacement bulb and did a little modifying.
