Is it possible to still get one of these? For a Road Toad?

Strictly Hodaka should have one.

Huh. I'll look again...

Since I'm not planning night riding at first, and have a burned out headlight, This is what I've done as a temporary measure. I carefully removed the old bulb from the reflector/lens assembly and adapted an 1154 bulb to the reflector assy. Tbis is a "6v 1157" and is the brake/tail light bulb. It gives a 5w low beam (inadequate).and a 21w high beam (marginal). Not too good for night use, but if there is a requirement for "daytime headlights on" for motorbikes, it might seem to meet that requirement.

At a swap meet, I picked up a couple of 6v headlight bulbs of 25w/25w-- still not up to the 35w stock headlight, but better. I'm going to hunt up a couple of burned out headlamps and experiment. I'd like to be able to adapt an LED to 6v and fit it the the headlight.

You can also get used ones from Bruce Young! Call him or email him! ; D Victor

I wrote a post some time ago with headlight replacement options for all Hodakas: http://www.hodakaforum.com/viewtopic.ph ... 4846#p4846

The ebay link is not active any longer but search the seller for similar items and you'll find many options.

I use a candlepower lens and I'm still using the same halogen H4 6v 35/35w bulb since I made that post. I have tested all the options I made in the initial post with great results. If you'd like to know more or have questions I can explain.

That's right, Roger, your thread is here. I was thinking it was in a back issue ot the Hodie Club Resonator. It may be there, also.

I'm intentionally reinventing the wheel on this, looking at different options/solutions to the problem.
