    What caused the failure was mixing all those different weight oils. I suggest doing what the harleydoods do and just close your left eye or go to one of the Harley Botiques where they sell genuine Harley Davidson/Johnny Depp eye patches. Yo-hoe hoe and a bottle of IPA.

    What if SOW meant eunuch? Can they be repaired? That would be a question for the former Bruce Jenner.

    You have to remove the windscreen, dash, etc to reach in there and gain the leverage needed to unplug the socket from the bulb. The rest is pretty obvious and can be found on youtube.

    I removed the whole front cowl to do mine, but I was also installing LED low beams.

    Still like the line about (speeled correctly) closing one eye and just "dealilng with it" you could always wear a sham-dana and be a total pirate. :loco: ; )

    Real pirates would have SOW taking a short walk off a short plank. I bet the guys from OZ could probably rig up a similar outfit over a bunch of those bigass lizards they have there. Those critters sort of make our alligators (Not Gator) look like sissies.. ;)

    Rather than replacing your lamps, since closing one eye is not working oot well, close both eyes.

    you first, I think I will go for a whole set of new lights seeing how I have to take so much apart. I go for middle of the road bulbs that way all four aren't that much should get me a lot of light for low dough.
