This summer I caught a rock with my K1100LT's headlight. The lens is cracked from top to bottom. To keep the bike on the road during the summer I put a piece of clear packing tape over the crack. I then bought a new lens and gasket that I planned on installing this winter.
I just finished looking at my Clymer manual on what is involved here. All I can say is Holy Cow. It might as well just said " Start at rear wheel lug nuts and remove everything forward of them".
I am looking for any tips from someone who has actually done this procedure. Is it really necessary to completely remove the fairing. I have the radio,xm radio, gps,radar detector, cb, and intercom wires all hooked up in there. It gives me the Hebegebe's just thinking about diving into that rats nest of wires. I am hoping that its possible to replace the lens with the fairing still firmly mounted.
