Interstate Instrument Bulbs Replacement and Procedure Assistance

<< < (2/2)

Hi Everyone:

I bought the Wagner #193 bulbs, then disassembled the "meter assembly" from the fairing, then pulled the stock bulbs out. They're Toshiba A12V-1.7W bulbs, and are smaller than the #193's that I bought. I took the Wagners back.

I was looking in the Old Archives for any info and found the post with the title "Bulbs for Meters" and this link http://www.valkyrienorway.com/partsbulb.html

Does anybody have any experience with the bulbs that are discussed at this website? Are they for an Interstate too?

Thanks,
Marty

I simply took a burnt out bulb to my local parts dealer and had them match the base to what they had in stock.  I took the highest wattage bulb (12v) of the offering and installed it. Was a bit brighter which I like. The bulb height was a little different but I didn't give that much value. Just got the ones that matched the best.  Like, all the other Valkyrie parts bs I figured Honda was the only source for the actually correct bulb and I was not going to subscribe to that at all, if I could help it. Already replace the two headlight bulbs a couple years back and learned my lesson them.

Ricky:

Do you have the brand and part number for that bulb? It would be a big help.

Thanks,
Marty

Sorry, no. I went out and looked (I usually save everything) but I probably only bought four and I did find the 4 old oem bulbs.
