Onderwerp: 	Halogen lamps (XRV-LIST)

Hi guys!
some days ago I wrote about my unlucky front lamps. Well, they seem really
unlucky, since other riders report similar problems :(
One of us (Jorn) suggested to put on the bike halogen lamps.
So, my question to Jorn and to all of you who has these lamps is:
halogen lamps look more cool  than normal ones, but they get really HOT when on.
Has this overheating  provoked problems on the nearby?

Greetings to everybody and see-you-in-Tuscany!!

On my last two bikes I had trouble with the head-lights.
Due to the high temperature in the lamps, (especialy when you drive a lot in town)
the silver of the reflector seems to evaporate..... (don't ask me how but the importer told me so)
So after 1,5 years, the lights become dull.
When you look into the lights, it looks like the upper half of the glass is dirty.

On my forner bike it is replace under waranty, and on this bike it is asked to replace them, but they have to decide what to do.....
I think they replace them for free.




Greetings from The Netherlands,
Raymond Fels.




To all the people who are going to join the XRV meeting:
Have a lot of fun.....
