With driving lights, heated grips may be the limit of what you can do power wise. I'm not sure how much more you could do. Maybe Troll could weigh in on this as he's the guru here.....I tend to ride late in the season so thinking of getting heated grips, which would fix the situation.

- September 28, 2015, 17:47:58 PMYES, I lost a bar end the other day.
Unlike my previous bike that had a bolt through, these ones are threaded.
I think because the po put on those aftermarket grips.

- September 28, 2015, 16:11:22 PMNot sure why Troll is upset about the PITA animal people but yes do not lose them little tiny wee bushings they are a really hard part to replace.
Is it a 99? Awesome colour scheme and some glossy paint. Are you missing a grip end? Light bar does look like a F/S one and so it would be 25 watt H-3 bulbs. It does look like the Indian logo should come off really easy and then a bit of goo gone and some shining and you are back were you started, and then to find the correct period badges would be nice.

my headlight and light bar
oh and me and my bike
so standard sized headlight and spots I think
nothing too out of the ordinary...
Posted by Troll
- September 28, 2015, 11:52:24 AMStandard H-4 55/60. Two screws, one on each side below the center line. Each screw has a bushing on it...do not lose it! The spot light, if it's a F&S uses a 25 watt H-3...one screw on the bottom. PITA to get lined up again!

Ya the bulb went I assume, bright still works, used that for the ride in.
So I should just be able to pull up to any parts place an ask there?
Will they have a book like Canadian Tire where I just look it up?
I didn't buy the lightbar or anything so don't know sizes.

- September 28, 2015, 08:30:38 AMDental floss works well for removing logo's. Heating them up with a hair dryer first would make it even easier.

Ok you lost your headlight and a spotlight or is the bulb just burnt out? If they are burnt out then easy but the spot lights do not replace them with anything stronger then a 25 watt bulb.

Thanks 49Reo - I ended up losing my headlight and 1 of my light bar bulbs yesterday, so I'm on the hunt to find out how to replace them.
Maybe tackle the tank badge over the winter.

- September 27, 2015, 18:12:37 PMWelcome to the madhouse, Downs. You can use a hair dryer(carefully) and heat the logos up, then gently pry the off using you fingers only. And put a piece of stiff plastic under the opposite end when prying or lifting so as not to mark the paint. My wifes cousin (retired bodyshop owner) used straight hot water at a trickle to remove stick-on trim rather than a hair dryer.
