San Antonio, TX | Here is a short video on how to access the fuse blocks and headlight adjustment wheel under the front blade. I also point to the location of the bolts that secure the mirrors.

| I have a chrome access panel that's to be delivered this afternoon and I was looking for an install video. Talk about timing.
Thank you. |

| Once again a job well done Paul!
The only thing I would note is that if a fuse does blow and you have the electrically adjustable windshield, the windshield will automatically raise to it's highest setting providing the key is turned to either on or accessory. I found this out when I blew an audio fuse while wiring up my Zumo 550. |

Orlando, FL | RADIO~! THANKS!! THANKS!! THANKS!! You have done it again. I am a relatively new Vision Owner and have wanted to remove that panel just to get comfortable doing it in case I blow a fuse. I watched the wrench take it off once and he made it so complicated, prying and tugging and prying. So I never even tried. And here you just pop it off with one hand!! Now I have to go play in the garage!! LOL
Thanks for ALL your instructional videos and all you do for every Vision Rider!! Hope I have the honor of meeting you one day. If you were better lookin' I'd send you flowers! LOL LOL LOL

Central New York | Great Video! I would add just two tips. 1) A touch of silicone or graphite on the rubber grommets before re-installing the blade will make life a lot easier next time. 2) Always put the power windshield full up before doing any kind of electrical work. Again, great video.  Thanks for taking the time to do it.

| I just have to add Yes put some grease on the rubber grommet on each side.
Second the center pin on the door pins do not push all the way down now on the hwy you can pull them with out a tool.
Third carry a needle noise pliers to pull a fuzz
Great filming for a one hand camera man. |

San Antonio, TX | I lost one of my "Fuse Box Access Panels" going down the highway at 75 miles an hour. When it happened I thought something came off of the road and blew by me. When I stopped, I realized what it was that flying by. The dealer got me a replacement and I put it in myself.
Now I am surprised that no one noticed that I did not get the top of the Fuse Box Access Panel hooked in correctly when I put it back on. It is probably how I lost that one on the road. Doing everything one handed and left handed sucks.
I am going many more to post but I am having trouble with Movie Maker right now.

Try the live dvd version of this. It is free and open source... and will run a lot faster if you decide to install. Kicks the posterior of MovieMaker.
