H4 headlight
mike the bike:
My comment might well be a one off but the occurrence wasn't. It happened 3 times. Luckily, I keep some spare fuses in the tool tray. The conductor size on the older bikes are larger than modern bikes (and cars), so I was justified in going up to a 20A fuse. I checked the temperature of the conductors and found it was OK. If there was an appreciable rise in temperature, I would have fitted a relay but found it quite unnecessary.
JezzaPeach:
Thanks Mike. Did the 3 instances all happen with the headlight, brake and indicator scenario?
mike the bike:
It did. Headlamp on, signalling and braking for the corner.

Has anybody fitted led bulbs to their sohc bikes, i don’t mean replacement light fittings, I mean replacement led bulbs in the original fittings.... I believe they are available, they are expensive but will definitely look good and give the charging system an easy ride... If anybody has I would be interested to know which bulbs and where from.
Trigger:
They are not expensive and have them fitted to a few of my bikes >>> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H4-LED-3-COB-Motorcycle-Headlight-Bulb-6000K-Hi-Lo-Beam-Light-White-2000LM-18W/274407066926?hash=item3fe3ef8d2e:g:yF8AAOSwCWte8xPq
