in different thread.. Basically have to pry plastic trim ring off inside of door with putty knife (careful, it cracks easily) to get to screws on bottom of door. See second pic. Top screws are easily accessible from inside of door. Spring can easily be replaced by hand once you get adequate access. You'll need a fairly stubby right angle screwdriver (I used a cut-down #2 Phillips bit and small Vice-Grips as a make-do) to get to the screws. Also need Torx (T10, I think) to detach the shock absorber doodads from the door where they attach above the hinges. If you're just starting to take the door apart, be careful when you take out the top 2 screws on the inside-- they hold the inside plastic piece on , but they also hold the whole outer stainless/ glass/ handle piece on. It just slips in at the bottom, so be ready to slide it out when you take these screws out.

yes i bought another tail light and could not figure out whish wire went to what. After connected like when I bought the used bike whether a turn signal or brake like something always seems not to work. I have a 2002 honda vtr is there any way I could get the tail light wiring pattern or something. thanks

Biggest problem with Firestorms is the voltage regulator overheats and burns out, remove the seat cowling and check the wiring and unit. Newer ones have a heatsink built into them if you need to replace, checking the pulse generator is easy, measure the resistance between the 3 yellow wires that plug into the reg, they should all be between 0.2 and 0.5 Ohm
