Speedo light removal?

Is this for an R80ST? Well, as I recall, you have to be able to pull the holder in order to put in the new bulb, which sticks up inside the speedo pod. I would imagine that it turns, likely turns say 1/4 the way on direction and then pulls out. Does yours look like it might turn to the left or the right? It can't pull straight out otherwise it wouldn't stay in place. So, I would think that it has to turn then pull out. It's #4 on this diagram:

It may be possible to buy a new one...it doesn't appear to cost that much.

Max says unavailable. The The receptacle for the socket is smooth so I don’t think it turns in, just presses in like the green dash bulbs

I think the R80ST is going to be different than other Airheads. For my /7 and for another 1983 R100RS, the instruments are lit using a printed circuit inside the speedo pod. But I did find Brook Reams' page where he at least showed the same terminal that you show for the bulbs.

Not he doesn't say much on his site, but maybe he'll be along at some point to give you pointers. The R80ST is a bit different as far as I can see.

yes, but this was plastic so no corrosion, just needed a bit of lubricant .
