Bulb information please
Hello
I tried this on the general forum but got no answer. On the headlight is a small light that I assume is a ignition or charging light. It is a screw in type of small bulb. Could someone tell me what the bulb model or what the wattage is please.

Re: Bulb information please
A photo of what you have would help. Much could have been replaced/added over the years.
I know virtually nothing about twins and you don't show the year of your bike in your post or in your Profile but I've looked at one Spares List for example and there is no ign lamp shown.
Have a look in the correct Spares List for the year of your bike (and add the year to your Profile):

Re: Bulb information please
Hi
It sounds like a previous owner has modified your headlight shell and wiring to include an additional indicator light - posting a photo may help in identifying the purpose but to be sure you will have to understand the circuit.

Re: Bulb information please
Below should be a couple of photographs. One shows the external warning light. The other shows the inside of the light, behind the switch boot and the bulb holder hanging down on the blue wire. The holder is for a screw in type of bulb.

Re: Bulb information please
The warning light looks to be a previous owner addition. You will probably want a bulb of the correct voltage that is about 2.5 watts.
