Re: [ST] Re: HEADLIGHT BULBS - AUSTRALIA - VENDOR FOUND

The first time I changed I pulled the bike apart as per the book to get 
access and see what was going on.

Once you know whats happening its pretty easy just a bit fiddly. 

I still cant believe that Triumph designed the access this way and that their 
best advice is to have the bike nearly completely stripped for a one minute 
job.

Anyway Harry, their is the connector on the back of the bulb and the rubber 
boot to remove. Then there is a sprung wire that holds the bulb in. Pulling all 
this out takes seconds. Putting it back together by feel takes a little 
longer. Be careful of the orientation of the bulb and make sure the wire and rubber 
boot are back in properly.

I will be out of action for a while longer than first anticipated.

Yesterday two F***ing dogs ran out in front of me. I was doing about 40-50kph 
on a suburban street, being very sensible because of the conditions. The 
exact point where I braked was on a patch of damp oil/diesel. Instant lockup and 
down we went on the right side. I lost some bark off my knees and jarred my 
wrists and left shoulder. Not sure how that happened since I fell to the right. 
So now I'm hoping the insurance company will cough up for all the fairing 
pieces on the right side, plus the pipe, mirror, levers, brackets, cockpit subframe 
etc etc.

If I had been going hard or being stupid I wouldnt be so p***ed off

Anyway, hope all are well
Cop u later
