Not with my mitts!!!:roflblack:

Wasn't there a disclaimer at the beginning of the vid?? :dontknow:

Trying that with my hands results in the headlight globes staying where they started; a lot of sticky claret coloured juice all over the bike; and hands that look like I've been wrestling with the angry end of a very disgruntled wildcat! nojoke

I reckon it's quicker'n easier to take all the front panels off - maybe not the very first time, while you're working out what needs to happen, but from there on in, it gets quicker'n easier every time! hyea:

Yes, it's possible. I've done it, but it's not fun.

Yes, the last time I did the bulbs in my '17RTL I lost 2 kilos - some of it on the floor, some still attached to the sharp edges inside that area of the Spyder, and some on the paper towel wiping the blood trails everywhere.

Can do similar on the ST just remove dash **dont drop anything!** smaller hands would be helpful, but yes can be done.
