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.

(bike 620 Monster 2004 )

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.

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.
