XS1100 Headlight Assembly

[spg500]

I have an XS1100 "Eleven" special, that has a bent headlight assembly (ears). My question, (and I apologize if this is more obvious that what I am able to grasp), is how do I remove the headlight ears. It appears they are part of the forks, and I am wondering what needs to be loosened or removed in order to replace these.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott

"ears' are part of a tube that fits over fork tube

Easiest, remove front wheel,
loosen bolts holding fork tube and slide fork tube down.
If stuck try twisting as you pull down. Little wd helps too.

btw
helps to place a jack or stand on frame between headers to raise front wheel up.
