| Hi, I am a new member from Clarenville NL, Canada. My darling wife purchased the S'wing for me last September as I retirement gift . I retired at 53, hence the user name Freedomjerr. The Scooter was a 2006 model "new in the box". The dealer gave me a $3000.000 discount from the current MSRP. I have had bikes from 1971 to 1998 when I sold my last Goldwing. Now I am back in the saddle. This S'wing is so much fun and a real pleasure to drive. This past week I returned from a 6 day trip to Saint John New Brunswick where I logged 3,010 km in 4 days on the road with a 2 day layover. To date I have 8,100 km on the Scooter. Looking forward to this forum. Jerry |

| Hi...I'm a new member from Harrisburg, PA. Just purchased a 2002 silver wing and there was no owners manual with it. I have one on order but would like to put a bulb in the rear compartment and do not know what bulb to purchase. Can someone help me? Where is a good place to order a parts manual? Thanks. Randy |

Welcome, Randy. I have a 2003 S'wing. You should consider whether you want a light under the seat. I intentionally took mine out, b/c I didn't want a half-closed seat to run the battery. Since the seat opens so wide, and the bulb was so small, I found that I didn't really need it. M- |

| Randy, as many owners here I removed my bulb to avoid a battery recharging. The bulb is 12V, 3.4W ('08 SW) |

| Welcome to Jerry and Randy. In my humble opinion, this is the best S'wing forum online. The members are cordial, respectful, and nothing-but-eager to help out, and there's a lot of experience to draw from.
I hope you'll both enjoy your stay. |

| Jerry and Randy,
Welcome to the forum.
As for the light under the seat. I really like stock things, but the light is terribly unecessary. I've replaced it with a switchable light from the mid 90's integra.
enjoy the SilverWing. |
