Oil change

that is funny. i wouldn't think it would be related. there are a lot of options as far the headlights go. there was a pretty long discussion about all the different options people have gone with. I thought about changing mine, but I don't ride that much at night and when I do, the stock bulbs seem fine to me. I did see the Sylvania silverstars or whatever at kragens the other day for about $25 ea, though which I guess isn't too bad if I ever do have to replace a bulb or two... about the black boxes, did you look in your repair manual and see what they are? I'm assuming all your wiring is intact. I would think a wire would melt before the plastic box would get hot enough to cook whatever was inside.
