I need to replace my headlight globes, i went looking yesterday but i couldn't find the right ones. The globe that was in there already is a H4R 12V60/35W HD. Does anyone know where to get them or what alternative globe i can use?

You can get them from a bike shop.

Alternatively you can use car 60/55w ones by bending back one of the tabs. I've been running them for 4 years without a problem, though some people have had melted contacts in the switchgear due to the extra powah.
It's also not great for battery life so I run a battery tender, but you should have one of those anyway

A good all in one solution if you have the loots is Eclipze's upgrade kit.

They come highly recommended.

1+ Eclipze's upgrade kit. if you just use normal 60/55w you gonna kill your battery and seeing yourself push start your bike very often

All I can get over here are 35/35w bulbs and they're useless. They keep burning out on high beams

Are you sure that your rectifier is alright Andy? and do you have the right rating fuse?

Sorry to bring up an old thread but what is the bulb type for the parkers?

T-5 wedge

That's weird.
In the Honda manual for a MC19 I think it said they were a 12v 3w globe for some of the accesories.
All the T-5s are 1.2w, and the right size seems to be a T-6.5
It sucks cause I've got to order some Narva 6.5s at Repco, no auto places I went to stock the 6.5s.
Anyone know where to get the 3 watters???

If you top up with the spare fluid kit then you should be right for a little bit longer (small vial located in your boot). Once this has been used up then recommend you grab Tony's upgrade kit when you can..

there is a post in the maintenance forum on how to convert h4 globes to fit ur bike.
very easy.

though one of my headlights is missing a bolt so it shines up pretty high
