I am using an Osram H4 LED, very good light distribution with the original reflectors.
It used to be called the Osram Night Breaker H4, but there seem to be new versions etc.

Thanks, I will def take a look!  :)

Yeah the Oxford guards come with plugs to fit different size bars. They have to expand quite a bit to grip the inside so you might find the first time around you have done them tight enough and they'll get knocked out of place easily, so just tighten them more if they do.

If you're sticking to the road there will be better tyre choices, grippier, better wearing, more efficient (so more range), and quieter with less vibration.

Thanks dude for the advice, invaluable! I will def look into tyres 100% don't need the nobbly's that are on there. role on the delivery day!! Cannot Wait!! There are also a couple of Zero open days coming up in the North East next weekend, so will most likely be going to them.

I am also looking at the oxford premium, been in my basket for a couple of weeks now, I was just waiting on the delivery of my bike to measure the tube diameter, but watching some reviews I don't think it matters.

bulbs, I went with these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08QGZT53T Thanks for the heads up with the fitting guide I am sure that'll be helpful come fitting time.

As for tires, I will mostly be on the road but the trailmax comes highly recommended I see, so noted, thanks!

sounds good what you've done, I think USB ports are going to be handy its something I will need to look into! I have gone for the dual sport screen and crash bars the big ugly ones!

I'm thinking of adding some generic hand guards and lever protectors, I will see how the bike fits me before playing with bars but I do like the upright position. also want some sliders for the front axle and rear swing arm, the wish list would be full paniers and tail tidy & charge tank! but these will come with time! I wasn't prepared to shell out nearly 20k outright on a bike off the bat.
I've also opted for the rear brake conversion to the left grip from NYA.

what are the LED's H4's? and what replacement tires did you opt for?

Hi TheRan, that's exactly my thinking. I would love to get something a little more substantial one day! How's your DS treating you did you add any extras to your bike or have you modified it anyway?

why hello, thanks for the warm welcome and the positive vibes.  8)

This is my first venture into motorcycles, so I am looking forward to it. I get forums are mostly these days full of problems but from my experience in the past, it's mostly been about comradery and friendships.

back in the day, I was heavily involved in the ST owners club STOC down in the southeast! I joined here because the Facebook groups are mainly just full of problems and I really wanted to see people enjoying their bikes. I get everything has problems and I had a toss up between a CAN-AM Ryker or a Zero.  :-\

So I did my CBT and here I am on a crazy learner legal motorbike! What's most annoying is I will have to do a full motorcycle license to lose my L plates or get a bigger electric motorcycle which is annoying as I never intend on riding a manual motorbike.  ???

I look forward to being an active member and seeing all of you guys around.

Hi there,

Just put a deposit down on a Zero DS 14.4 11kw and am having the rear brake converted to the bars and the Dualsport screen fitted as well as the drop crash bars. I will be mainly using the bike for commuting 25miles to work.

After reading some horror stories I am beginning to wonder if I have done the right thing. Especially when my nearest dealer is 100 miles away. based in the UK.

looking forward to being a part of the electric revolution.
