CF650TR HID headlight upgrade

Accessing the CF650TR/650TK/CF650-2 headlights might seem problematic, however it need not be so. To adjust headlight level is pretty straight forward, there are adjustment knobs at the rear of each headlight, accessed from behind, either; reaching down by the instrument panel between the fork down-tubes/steering head and the tupperware, or alternatively from underneath between where the radiator is located and the front mud-guard - reaching up. Both methods require one to have some dexterity.

Trying to access and work with the headlight bulbs or LED which sit below the headlights is not as easy using either method.

For better access, start by removing the screen. A 4mm Allen key is needed to remove the four coach bolts that secure the screen to the top side of the dash.

Once the screen is removed, push in the centre of four push-in grommet type fasteners, then carefully use a flat head screw driver or similar to lever the outer lip of the fastener away from the tupperware.

Once there is enough purchase on the fastener wiggle and pull out from its position. Remove the two PK/Philips head screws.

With the fasteners all removed, carefully place the flat edge of a flat headed screw driver under the top edge of the tupperware and the lip of the dash as shown in the photo. Work the flat edge along from one side to the other.
