I'll ask when I take George in for his paint issue.

Some other mod options. I'm converted to the idea of reducing electrical load on George as he has lower power so I'd like to use sidelights for visibility (as in being seen) rather than headlights when needed but the existing sidelights are very dim. Would something like these be OK as an upgrade ?

I'd rather avoid strip DRLs as they look a little boy racer for me

Secondly do Xenon bulbs use significantly more or less power than conventional Halogen for the extra light they make ? I suspect George's headlights are not the brightest.

EDIT - PS tyres now at 45PSI, may back down to 40 again as the ride is very harsh given the short wheel base. Handling and grip are fine in wet or dry weather.
