I have a bulb burned out in my Large Silver Bullet lights. I seem to remember there being replacements available that are generic and less expensive then the Kuryakyn  brand.
Any one know?

Thanks
Bill

If they are the halogens and not the LED type, I get mine at Home Depot, Lowes, or just about anywhere bulbs are sold.  I've been running generic 50W bulbs in my Silver Bullets for about 8 years.  About $10 for a pack of three.

Yep, and a choice between spot or flood too.
They're generally referred to as 12v Halogen Landscape Lighting.

If you use them at night I would recommend the spots. Floods could be an over-bright issue for oncoming traffic at night.

I use my small fork mount 35w Floods for triangular daytime lighting along with highbeam and my 50w spots [small aircraft landing lights] aimed in a crisscross pattern so as to not blind oncoming traffic and crossing them also lights up the curves as you lean into them. Left spot right curve and right spot left curve.

You can even see that the 50w are aimed to the inside.
The lower edge of the beam hits the pavement about 35' out in front and the top edge of beam reaches out a very long way.
I never get flashed at night [not even by cops], but I am careful with my distance & position when following traffic to help keep'em out of their mirrors.

Went to Lowes today and got a 3 pack of Phillips 50 watts. 9.95$
Popped in the new one and I'm good to go, with a pair of spares now.!
Seeing I got 7 years out of the first set, I'm set for a while! LET THERE BE LIGHT!
