In my humble opinion, every little bit helps...so here's a tip I got a long time ago, on how to make your brake light a little brighter.

The stock bulb for the RSV is #1157. specs are 32/3 candlepower.

Bulb # 2357 has the same base, plugs right in. Specs 40/3 candlepower. Running light will be the same brightness, brake light will be 25% brighter.

If anyone is worried about the extra heat melting the lens...I've been using these bulbs in my '83, brake and turnsignals, for about 8 years. I use the 2357LL (long life).

If you want to check where the specs come from, here is the link:
