It wasn't too bad Keith but does mean taking the fairing (nose) off the
bike then a couple of screws that hold the clock to the dash then simply
pull the bulb.  Get the Haynes or factory manual for reference though, I
find having both a must as I'm not a great mechanic.

IIRC, remove the 2 bolts that hold the nose to the side fairings, remove
the 2 dash trim pieces that cover the mirror mounts, remove the mirrors,
remove the 2 lowest windscreen screws and the fairing should easily pull
forward (unless I've forgotten something).  Unplug the third eye (parking
light) and you can set the piece down.  I think the clock was the white
plastic block, unbolt from dash and you have it.  Again I may have
forgotten something so go easy.

Finding the right bulb is the challenge, that is, unless you want to pay
too much for the OEM bulb at your dealer.
