just short trips (6 mile round ) my battery slowlly goes down. It seem it takes more to start it that gets replaced.

To solve the problem I put a 18 watt yellow light in the headlight on a switch to replace the low beam (day-light running light). I switch back to regular after dark.

Whats that about a HID headlight ? What kind of watt saving is that?

O yea Also did the LED tail/brake light.

Interesting !

How did you go about fitting the 18W yellow light ?
I have a pair of 35/60W 5" headl;amps, which I would like to fit replacing the single original, but your idea is quite interesting...

I cut a hole in the reflector and mounted a single filimint standard bulb in it. Mounted it below the regular bulb. In hine-sight I should have used a smaller bulb. But it works fine. I'll take a picture next time I take it out. The Yellow matches the trun signal running lights, I'll picture that too.

Got the idea from a China (Roketa 200) dirt/ street bike. It had a kinda parking light mounted in the headlight reflector.

I think I'll take a picture to day when it get to hot to work outside .

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.
