Changing dash bulbs?
 

tonight i noticed i have a bulb gone on my speedo, how easy are they to change? 2001 curvy

Re: Dash Bulbs???
 

pull the clock surround off and replace, no problem on a naked, faired i have never touched myself tho so i have no idea what fairings need to be touch or not touched

Re: Dash Bulbs???
 

I think you may need to take the R/H fairing off to access the bulbs from behind

Pain in the A$$!!!!!! when i got my 2000 curvy it had no working bulbs in, i bought LED replacements (theyre AWESOME!) to change mine i had to literally take the whole front apart (both side fairings and nose cone, headlights, and then clocks)

This is the place i got my bulbs, Cheaper than my local dealers per bulb - https://www.crazyleds.co.uk/
REALLY quick postage and well packed too!

+1 to the pain in the A$$ bit,
i managed to get the clock housing off with out removing the lights, then i found that there are 3 bulbs that needed replacing and i only bought 2 :rolleyes:

Takes about 20 mins to get everything off (once you know what your doing) to then fit the bulbs that take 2 minutes, then as Mr haynes states, replacement is a reversal of removal.

Which LED's fit straight into the curvy dash?

Let me go and find my guide...but as said the whole fairing has to come off.

Here we go

I tired LEDs but found tem a bit narrow on light output therefore creating 'hot spots' of light.

mine looks ok with LEDs in

does look like it has some hot spots but the picture makes it look much worse than it actually is

yeah pain in the b-hind!
tbf DD your display looks much better lit than mine ever did with bulbs.

I like the green as well, very unique.

I went for green to match the bike.

I used cheap green LEDs off eBay in the clocks also changed the neutral light fullbeam light etc with the relevant coloured LEDs as well
