Tell them it's bright enough if for no reason other than it can't go fast enough to outride your vision anyway. even if it was 3W.

Of course, it could simply be that there's some corrosion on the terminals at some point and the bulb is only seeing 9V. More likely though is an overzealous inspector.
You have the option of going elsewhere too. That might be the fastest option if you feel he's just being a pedantic anal-retentive prick.

Just a suggestion -- l h drive vehicles dip to the right, r h drive vehicles should dip to the left. Maybe it was imported from the states with l h sealed beam units & that is the issue!

Man, you're a dreamer thinking everyone who thinks hardley fergusons are overrated piles of crap must just be unable to afford one and therefore be jealous. It couldn't possibly just be because they ARE overrated and desireable mostly only to tongue-chewing oafs and weekend wannabe hard men like dentists.

Dear o me very sad really.i bet i would do a lot more miles than just about most people on here.you are full of crap and yes i have owned many bikes,the old Harley is still probably the best[ for me ] to do the big miles.I find the knockers are usually not the riders and no i'm not a tongue chewing oaf,,sound more like you to be honest.also i never seem to get passed by all these incredible bikes where are they.immmmm and a ps i don't care what people ride long as they ride not just talk about it and are not smart arses

To be fair, the hardly blokes DO put the miles in, always lots at rallies.
