20-30 minutes

Remove mirrors - remove two allen heads on both panels.

Disconnect headlight and indicators - shouldn't need to disconnect sidelight.

Nudge fairing forward and rest on a towel on front mudguard.

Change bulb .

Reassemble

Right Royal PIA trying to do it with the fairing still on the bike unless you have ickle hands with et fingers.

I'd really worry if a hover mower was needed to help change a bulb :p

A mate of mine changed a bulb on his Cherokee Jeep the other day and it's designed in such a stupid way he had to take the whole headlight out to change it. 8O
