Changing headlamp bulb

[Riderinthesnow]

Has anyone figured out an easy way to replace headlight bulb? My hand must be too fat.

Others may have a simpler solution, but splitting the fairing is the only way I've found...

I tried removing the fairing, but was unable to remove the headlight pod. I did'n want to unscrew the adjuster knob all the way.

No need to mess with the adjuster, just take the two rubber mount bolts out and the bucket will swing around enough to let you change the bulb. Just a reminder, DON'T touch the glass on the new bulb!

I read up on it here on the site first. My methoid was crank the handlebars full right. You will need a light of sometype to probably see up in the back of fairing. Remove the connector and boot. There is a metal spring clip that holds it in that has to be compressed. If you have a pick with a 90 deg end on it, it may help. It is a tight fit. got and 13yr olds in the neighborhood that want to make a couple bucks?

Just changed mine, split the fairing , removed the 2 screws in the frame work and there it is...nothing to it.
