Re: Number-plate buld - UK source

The one in mine:

Phillips H6W 12v 6W Single Centre Contact, bayonet fitting, physically it looks a lot like the bulb you'd find in a torch, Halfords or a local care spares emporium should have an equivalent.

Damn! just bought my 50R and spent 3 weeks getting used to it, love it to bits, and now the boxer twin could/maybe/perhaps be phased out, story of my life.
