Can someone tell me the proper way to take the headlight of an R2 apart to replace the bulb (or post a diagram)? Both my owners manual and the shop manual I have refer to a regular 109R headlight.

Thanks in advance.

Just turn the handle bars to the left and get it from the back side. No need to remove panels.

:congrats: and :welcome: to the forum also. :bigthumbsup:

It is tight but it works. Are you putting in a PIAA or an HID kit?

Not HID yet. Thought I'd put in the brightest stock replacement bulb I can find for now. Had a young girl on a cell phone pull out in front of me today. I don't think she saw me at all. Any recommendations?

ALWAYS, during daylight hours run with your HIGH beam ON!!!!
This won't take away from idiots on the road but WILL make you more visible.
Good luck.

The Stebel horn is a good mod also, for people not paying attention.

:agree::agree: For under $200 you can get a Stebel, harness and a HID kit. I have these mods listed in the Bang for the bucks mod thread. They will increase your safety 10 fold.
