speedytriple Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 So the cage is ready for winter in the snow belt now. Went out today and got 4 new all season tires mounted, a oil change, put on a set of stealth windshield wiper blades. And replaced the head light bulb that blew out this week with a set of silver star lights. Just in time for the 4 inches of snow that we got up here. LOL!

Howabusa Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Walmart said $118 a tire for some off brand on Friday. I go back on Saturday & they tell me that they were wrong, for that price I get the Bridgestone duelers, OK with me. The duelers usually sell for $140 a tire.

wantahertzdonut Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm getting my Subaru sorted, but hopefully I can find an old 5sp 4Runner and sell the Subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 @Speedy - I would advise keeping a spare headlight bulb or two on hand.I replaced my 8 year old original bulbs (still working just fine) with Silverstars a year and a half ago, and one of them just kicked it this weekend.I've read similar stories on other forums about the lack of longevity.While I enjoy the nice, white light and better beam pattern, I'm not thrilled with their longevity (or lack thereof).

max power Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm getting my Subaru sorted, but hopefully I can find an old 5sp 4Runner and sell the Subaru.Ha! Good luck finding a 5sp. Runner in decent shape. they haven't made them since 95.That's rare as a unicorn that shoots fire out its ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks for the heads up on the bulbs. I kept the one that was good as a back up. but may pick up another one just to be safe. I have been running the same silver star h4 bulbs in my bike for over 5 years, but they would get half the use as a cage would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
