By the way, my CBR used Honda's proprietary 45/45 watt H4 bulbs with the two lower tabs at a different angle than standard H4 bulbs. I got standard 55/60 watt H4 bulbs and snipped off the lower tabs. The top tab centers the bulb and the springy wire holds it in.

Ha! I had to do that with aftermarket high wattage bulbs back in the day!

Sorta like riding a thousand miles on a bike that's running like shit and spending hundreds of dollars at multilple dealers only to never be able to find the problem... Wait... no it's not.

Take the wire out of the other side and bend your paperclip to match it.

you should talk to MikeSP1... he may have an extra one... he said he had parts...

other than that check RC51 sites to see if anyones got a bike they're parting out...

what exactly are you looking for... the same clip that Tigger showed in his pics? you could get some wire and make your own ya know... I've done that on my truck with a similar type clip. can't remember the guage I used but it's just steel wire

Fuck it. If you're too scared to do it yourself. I'll bend the paperclip for you and charge you 75 bucks. Just so you can have the dealer experience.

Pm me if you're interested.
