I switched all bulbs except headlights to LED's, they are so much better than stock bulbs in cloudy conditions or at night. Now in the daytime they aren't as noticeable as stock bulbs, so it depends on when you do the most riding.

The headlights I changed over to PIAA Night Tech bulbs, because again at night they cover a much wider pattern on the road, whiter light and cut through fog and rain better than stock headlights.

thanks for the info Fred i think ill do the light change when winter comes and it when there's less day light

took it for the service today and they only did the basic changes like oil, coolant, spark plug, filter etc and what a difference that made , before the max rev where 9k now its 10.5k a increase of about 10mph which is a lot considering that i was only hitting 60mph

really happy with the result fo far

1000 mile service should have only been an oil change and check fluids and check for loose stuff.
