RE: RS instr. cluster

[Robert Riffel <Robert.Riffel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	If I can ever get my digital camera working again, I'll take a few
pictures when I open it and post them.  Opening the cluster is easy.  Remove
the mirrors and front fairing so you can get access to the area behind the
cluster.  There is one electrical plug to disconnect and then just unscrew
the instrument pod and remove.  There are three or four screws to remove in
the back of the pod, and then the front lifts off.  Pull out the lenses that
you want to switch around.  The lenses are the same shape from side to side,
but have little alignment tabs that are in different locations.  Just snip
the tabs off and put the lenses where you want them - they sit in little
recessed areas that properly align them anyway.  I put the yellow lens from
the low fuel indicator in the turn signal position and vice-versa.
