NOVSIGHT LED bulb H4 Hi/Lo—this is not a sales pitch for them . . .

Headlight LED bulbs are selling well! Not that we make much profit on them . . .
I think we should stick to legitimate products, but the performance is just so good.

There’s some variation between left and right—the left is over 40,000 candela, the right is under 40,000.
I think the actual measured values are even higher.

I cleaned up both the left and right headlights nicely.

It’s a good idea to replace the headlight resin parts occasionally. The ball joint holder in the upper left of the image can crack from deterioration.
When these kinds of parts become unavailable, it’s really a problem. Ten years might be pushing it, but how about removing the headlight and refreshing it every five to six years?

I did a little extra work. I applied spring tension to keep it from rattling even if the resin parts deteriorate like this time.

The old GSX-R used to be set up this way . . . ( ;∀;)

Ceramic compound (TT25)

Perfect for polishing transparent parts! It’s an essential chemical, so I really hope you get a chance to try it sometime.

The brake fluid and rear diaphragm were stretched out, so I replaced them.
After that, it’s just a test ride and we’re done!
