Romet Soft Chopper 125 The lamp is 3cm larger in diameter than the factory one and that's how I wanted it. After a minor modification of the lamp brackets and connection block it looks perfect. Smooth glass and excellent mirror give in combination with 55W bulb much stronger light than the factory 30W lamp. The workmanship of the lamp is very good, solid and aesthetically pleasing. The only remark to the somewhat small hole for cables- in the Softy the inside of the lamp hides several bundles and plugs. After a few attempts I managed to squeeze everything through and it is perfekt. I recommend the lamp, I hope that the lack of approval will not cause problems at the inspection or during roadside inspection.
Everything ok, I recommend for CB500 - fits perfectly. The heat sink provides adequate cooling, the factory one did not have it and there was a problem.
About a year ago I installed a colleague in a Honda CB500 - probably 1998.To this day he does not complain. Recently another colleague had a charging problem (also CB500, 1999) and asked for advice (the previous regulator - "more branded", read much more expensive - seemed to overcharge the battery [colleague's opinion, I did not check]. It turned out that everything was OK, the one evaluated remained stock).
In both cases, the spacing of the mounting holes did not fit very well, but it's 0.6 mm max - just "lick" the housing with a suitable conifer.
There could be a little more charging voltage (original :14.5 V, evaluated : 14.17 and 14, 22 V - two copies).
If someone "embraces currents" and would like to check the reg. "dry", just like the "classic" ones. - regulated power supply, bulb voltmeter - then you may be strongly surprised. But after installation in the motorcycle everything OK. Probably some "more advanced" technology (perhaps - it's a little undervoltage is also not always so ?) Considering the price / quality ratio - I recommend. In general - in Hondas (at least of these vintages) you need to take care of the charging installation. Most often the problems begin at the connectors of the 3 yellow cables from the alternator. Corrosion, oxidation, increase in resistance, overheating, the rectifier-regulator begins to overheat, the internal electronics fall apart, no longer regulate the voltage and we have a "bubble" from the battery. It is worth checking these areas carefully.
With Hondas (CB500, Transalp) I have done a little more than 80 kkm, and also a little at colleagues' repair.
I was not convinced, because what to expect for 150pln with shipping. When the lamp arrived I was very positively surprised. It is quite solid, the chrome is perfect, the workmanship leaves nothing to be desired - sensational value for money. I will be installing it in GSX600F 99', unfortunately after the grinder the only thing left is to make a naked egg ;)
I recommend the product in summary!!!
Honda CB 500 S, 1999.
Before replacement charging only above 3000 rpm at slow 12.3 volts without load, after replacement 14.3 volts after load 14.1-14 volts (you would have to check the battery and the pradnic-alternator itself before you proceed with the replacement)
In summary - good purchase quality / price
I recommend
Very satisfied with my purchase, received very well packaged, unbeatable value for money, if I need a battery I know I'll buy from Gmoto without hesitation. ?
