Bulbs are usually an easily available after market item.............................but then what model are you talking about ?

I suspect that H model headlight bulbs are not so readily available

From memory there's a bulb that can be modified to make it fit the H it might even be a L one


L model bulbs are available from Wemoto for 3 quid


http://www.wemoto.com/


And at a guess any decent motor factors will have them too.


As ever helpful polite and unpatronising

The ones from wemoto will be H4 55/60w which need one of the tabs bending to make them fit.

To get the correct 35/60w bulb have a look at http://www.kawasakioriginalparts.com as they do them there. They're about 20 quid each though, but I'd sooner pay that once in a blue moon than modify the wrong sized part to fit

Yes, that's the one. I checked shortly after posting that. Very occasionally you'll find a NOS one on ebay going cheap.
