While searching internet for H4 LED bulbs most of the information was that the OEM housing was not designed to correctly focus the light emitted by the LED's. Then I found this product. sum-rp22677_ny_xl.jpg sum-rp22677_xl.jpg https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-rp22677?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwK...

Re: 1982 R100RT Final Drive Oil Leakage

How tough would it be to replace those two seals?

Would it require any special tools?

Or will I need to remove the front fairing for more access? Any sugestions on how to navigate the rat...
