Tearing apart the console gauge pod?

[ARCTIC]

How do you disassemble the console/fairing pod thing? If you remove all screws holding the windshield and the screws that attach the mirror will that allow that upper plastic shell to be removed?

Sorta... So if I take out all 4 screws that hold the windshield on and also take out the screws that hold the mirrors on. Will part #9 just easily lift off of the machine or is there something else holding it?

I did this when changing Head lights and once you have the Shield and mirrors off there are some clips on each side you depress with a screwdriver and it will pop off.

Thank you for the reply. So i assume they are located where those little notches are along each side? Does it snap back together easily? I'm also working on replacing the lights

I got a 5 or 6 page RS/RSS cowling/console disassembly manual (good pics) from Spyd1, when I was trying to swap out my headlight bulbs. Send me a PM with an e mail address (if you like) and I'll e mail you a copy of mine.

Well, for all of those that follow this thread..... You need to use a POINTED Awl or very very small phillips screwdriver. I was using a flat head screw driver. I got the top off but I think I fawked up the little plastic fingers on the upper console :banghead:
