What is the best way to change the bushing? What do I have to take off to get to this. Thanks.

You didn't have to take the front fender off? How did you get the bottom half of the headlight pod off?

i took off the bolts holding the handlebars then took the choke and ign. key switch out of their holes and was able to lift the pod over the stem and lay it forward to allow the two part bushing to be easily replaced.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
