    Is it possible to change some of the dash light bulbs without removing the complete front fairing? I figured I would ask before disassembling again. Thanks

    Sorry dude, but in order to get at the back of the dash you would need to remove at least the upper fairing cowl, which also means removing the mid cowls and the mirrors. I might advise changing all the dash bulbs at the same time. Even if only one is burnt out now, the rest will burn out one at a time. Likely as soon as you reinstall the fairing again. LOL

    Yep. What they said. It is easier to just do it once, replace the dash lights with LEDs and never have to mess with it again.

    That is what I figured. Thanks for the input. If any of you have a source you used and the number of the bulb and quantity I need to order that would be great.
