To remove and replace the headlight brackets on my A4 what's the best/easiest method - drop the fork legs or remove the upper triple clamp etc?
Grateful for some advice.
Many thanks
Andrew

Re: Removing A4 Headlight Brackets
Bike on center stand, jack with wooden block under the engine, lift the front end high enough to get the front wheel out, slide the legs down ehough to be clear of the headlight bracets, put the new ones in and reverse the procedure. Keep an eye on the brake pipes or unbolt the callipers.

Fork legs lowered one at a time is a lot easier.

What he said....
Much easier to do one at a time if you're not removing the front end.
