Stripped the front end down in order to try and cleanup the headlights as they were covered in dusty crap on the inside. I wish I hadn't bothered now as the brackets that hold the unit were broken so I'm having a nightmare sticking them back together plus the front cover of the unit was completely glued in all around so it took me hours cutting through so I could just lift the front off. Because it was getting on my tits so much I've just left it in pieces for the moment until I can get back to it, problem is that it now means it's off the road again, but my buddy across the road has kindly let me borrow his MT-09 for the week so that has cheered me right up :lol
Not something i would wanna try, but people on here have put the light unit in the oven before to soften up the glue you're on about, then separate it with a screwdriver.

I would have heated the glue to soften it but it was that type of glue that dries like cement and no amount of heat was going to budge it. Managed to get it apart with minimal damage around the edges :lol I'm glad I did do it now as you know that domb thing that goes over the bulb, it was hanging off and could have caused some problems if it had come off completely. going to get it all put back together tonight after work, but until then I'm enjoying borrowing my mates MT-09 :lol
RIP my beautiful red beast 1999 to 2017 ???
