Hi Fred,

Just make sure that the rotors you measure are situated exactly in the same orientation towards the compass, one at the time, and mark the position with a pencill or so.

good luck,

UPDATE: Goffy has stock of 12v H4 (P43t) 35/35W halogen and Philips Motovision. Go here http://www.norbsa02.freeuk.com/goffybulbs.htm and ctr-f ('Find') B1235MOH4. Couple with one of these http://www.cycleseductions.com/candlepo ... hting.html and Bob's-your-uncle![/quote]

Just to let you know that I installed the headlight conversion with a low wattage H4 bulb, and it's really great! Thanks again Steve!

Good news there, Vince; you're most welcome. Did you get the H4 bulb from Goffy or have you found a US supplier?

Scooterworks out of Chicago had them - about $13.00 each, so I got two.

The guys at Cycle Seductions are going to look into carrying those low wattage bulbs, which should help for 'one stop shopping'.

Cool. Great news for you guys in US. Standard H4 or Philips MotoVision? As a standard 35/35 H4 that price represents a $1.50 saving, plus the cost of the UK-US postage.

Really pleased that it worked out well for you!

It's just a generic 'Auto Lamp Bulb'....comes in a red and black box.
