The cheap tubes I was referring to are the inner tubes in the tires. They are very thin and not suitable for much off road riding. They may be okay for the street, but who wants to chance a blow-out at 55 mph? Not me, so I ordered a set of heavy-duty tubes. As for the light bulb, some have upgraded their bulbs to slightly brighter ones, and I hope I am wrong but from what I understand the electrical system on these bikes doesn't have enough output to power a significantly brighter bulb and/or you may risk damage to the electrical system if you upgrade to something that draws more current. Someone with more knowledge of the electrical systems of these bikes would be a more reliable source of information than me, however.
