How to remove headlight mount on fork??? 78 kz650 was created by DeadZed
Hey guys I just picked up a 78 kz650c and wanted to change the headlight to something different. I already have universal headlight fork mount brackets. I want to remove the headlight mounts that are on the forks(welded on??). How do I go about doing this?? Is there a few ways to remove the mounts?? Thanks in advance, Nik.

I believe you remove the top triple clamp and the headlight mounts slide up off the fork tubes. BUT, I have never done it. Maybe someone else can confirm this?

Thanks guys for the quick responses. The only reason I was asking is the bike is not in my possesin yet, so I couldn't see how to do it. Thanks again, Nik.
