I bet not (not that Paul is not a great name!)

Come on Saaz, you've forgotten one of your aliases.  Harieg remembers stuff.

He might. Except I can't so I just use the same aliasis everywhere.  I am trying not to insult a few Pauls here..now Daves are a different matter.....a new article on diesel (as opposed to Diesel) and refueling soon to appear...,.

Those bulbs are 100/90W ones, so may run a bit hot around town.  I haven't used them in the ST11, but in a single headlight they did run noticeably hotter, so I kept them for highway riding.  100/55 was a good compromise for town/highway, and 130/90 even better for highway.  Someone may have actually used them in the ST11, but I suspect that they would run rather hot with the twin bulbs on, so reflector life may be compromised.  I would be glad to to shown to be wrong, as they would make a cheap lighting upgrade.

  The life of those higher wattage bulbs is also shorter, as I had many go in the low beam, but that was on a headlight that took a few minutes to change the bulb.

Harieg,

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120750010337?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

These are mine, not sure what the difference the colour makes on the globe tip but mine are grey and they are 60/55w H4 Xenon.
