Brake and clutch levers replacement

The original levers are not so comfort and very ugly.
So I decided to replace them.

The following video demonstrates how to release the clutch cable

Once cable is released the lever can be easily removed

The arrow points on a 10mm bolt that shall be unscrewed

The accident result


A few month ago I made my first bike accident. As a result right fairing and dashboard panel were broken.

The broken trim panel

A new parts were ordered from http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/

The trim panel replacement

The trim panel replacement requires releasing of wind protector and side fairings.
Lets start with windshield.

Lift off the covers (use some non scratching material).
Unscrew 4 mounting bolts and release the windshield.

The arrows pointing on a 2 additional bolts to remove

Now, when windshield released we have to take off the side fairings. Each side fairing have 3 bolts and one trim clip.

The (arrowed) trim clip disconnected by pushing to it center (use something thin)

This bolt (10mm) can be accessed from the inside fairing

2 more bolts to go 

And the last one on a front mask

The trim panel successfully released
