I got my bike back after a week for valve/belt/fork maintenance.
Anyhow, I start to ride and notice my high beam light stop working (low beam works).  I think it might be burned.

What's brightest bulb I can get?  Got to get one asap.  Any suggestion appreciated.

Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

Many of us have run a 80/100 watt.  The wiring is just good enough if everything is perfect.  Check all connections, particularly the connector for the bulb.  I ran an 80/100 for three or four years, ducpainter has run one longer.  Do expect a shorter bulb life.

I think I have a PIAA extreme bright or some such name.  Anyway it is 100/110, WAY more visible during the daytime for those cagers that keep trying to kill me. 
If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you.  If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may be only seconds away from death.

just bought a 90/100w (store did not have 80/100w).  Will see how it fares. 

I got to switch to HID light at some point.  I do lot of night riding and this lights are just not enough.

Thanks for your help.
