[QUOTE="TripperMike, post: 1373763, member: 27241"] Fortunately, having a bike that's been on the road for less than a year, I didn't have, nor was I concerned that I might suffer similar mechanical set backs. I'm replying to this post Iggy because of something else odd. I replaced my OEM bulbs with the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras about a week before the start. When I purchased them, the person behind the counter warned me that they don't last as long as other, less brighter, bulbs. I knew this as I have been using them for as long as I've been doing rallys and riding through the night. I flippantly commented that I only need for them to last for the next three weeks. lol Wouldn't you know it, they both burned out the week after the finish. Never had that happen before. No wheres on the forum have I read about anything odd about the 3rd gen bike having problems with these bulbs. Maybe they were a defect. I don't know, but considering what a royal PIA it is replace bulbs on this gen bike, I'll be sticking with the OEM product. Certainly not on the same Oh Shit level as a shock/swing arm failure, but headlight bulbs failing would put a damper on the night riding. Other than this well timed, post rally, problem, the bike worked like a champ. Love love loooove the CC. PS. Really enjoyed reading what you had posted on Facebook. But now you got me to thinking about where I was on the ninth day. Hmmmm it'll come to me. Mike Myren IBA #SDK [SIZE=10px](Still Don't Know)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
