I took the nose off the bike (2009 RT). This is the second time I've done this. Its not real complicated to do at all. No exaggeration...20 minutes to get it off; 20 minutes back on. Maybe a dozen or so bolts to remove, 4 windshield arm clips and one electrical plug. That's about it.
This is TOTALLY WRONG!!! You only need to take off two of the windshield arm clips. 8-D
If you know the sequence, it really does come off in 20 minutes tops (with s few pulls from a cold one thrown in for good measure).
And don't be a dumb-ass like me and stare at them in amazement, or you'll be seeing spots in front of you the rest of the day.
OK. You are all going pig-pile on me for this but here goes:
My first comment was light hearted, this one is dead serious. These and some other LED lights are dangerous to your vision. DO NOT stare straight into them for more than a couple of seconds at a time. Rocketman jokes about seeing spots for a day. I installed mine last spring and I can still see vague green spots in both eyes. This would be permanent retinal damage and is one reason I ditched these LEDs (and the ADVMonsters before them) in favor of a different, lower output, unit. The LED aftermarket is on a Lumen-envy tear and their products are just ridiculously bright to make up for generally poorer beam patterns (this applies to Camheads and I have photos to prove it, Wetheads may be different because there's only one low beam). They are bad for you eyes and bad for the eyes of oncoming drivers at night. Please be careful and be considerate of others, you don't get re-dos on your vision.
