Sometime ago a mechanic whilst servicing my bike had the left handside fairing off and some of the cockpit panel off on that side as well and took the oppurtunity to replace the sidelight bulb with a LED replacement. Many months on today I got round to replacing the right handside Side/Parking bulb with its LED replacement. This may well be mega old news but today I figured out if I removed the inner fairing panel on the right handside that hold's the temp sensor located adjacent to the Radiator I can get my stubby fingers in there, you can remove this panel without removal of any other panel (the fingers are even less flexible than DonaldTrump but perhaps contain a few more useful grey matter cells than said Od Fart ha ha ! )

The LED's that I have fitted are that good they act not only as sidelights but daytime running lights as well, so much it negates having to use the headlights as daytime running lights until dusk/darkness falls.
 
Well from this side of the world, we are required to have the headlight functioning at all times, and if one replaces all lights with LED the voltage draw becomes a non issue. I fancy not having to remove the plastic parts, however my swap outs came when the fork seals had to be done. Enjoyed the maneuvering room.
