Changing Globes on a R1200RT
3 July 2009 - 1:31pm
One of my mainbeam globes has blown so I am going to change both Globes to Osram Night-Breakers.
Last Time a globe blew Freak changed them for me but I am going to attempt to do it myself tomorrow. Are there any of you out there that have tips or suggestions as to the easiest way to do this?
The globes are situated in an almost inaccessible place that only Japanese hands were designed to get into...

Well Clutch side globe
Well Clutch side globe replaced no problem but I think that I will pay someone to put in the Throttle side light. It is a little cramped in there!!
By the way Padlangs all 3 main beams are 12V 55W H7 on the RT.
