Kz550h headlight assembly removal

Hey all, idk if this qualifies for this section .

I'm trying to disassemble the headlight assembly but I can't get the front mounting/trim bezels out.

I removed the bottom two screws the ones at an angle, removed the side to side adjustment screw, and I was able to flex open the bottom to remove the screw in the middle on the headlight silver trim ring.

What else is there? It feels like there's a screw inside at the top of the assembly but idk how to get to it.

Trying not to break anything lol, thanks in advance

Also I read the manual and parts fiche. Looks like there's a screw up top.

The manual says to just flip the outer ring up but it feels like it's gonna snap.

never mind. my mistake. yours is different.

maybe try looking at eebbaayy photos to see what's what. assuming there are 550H headlight components listed.

Yeah I'll give that a shot. I took a quick look and found entire assemblies for sale but didn't try to search for pieces.

Thanks! Anyone with any info/suggestions feel free to chime in

So this is what I have, same part number according to the fiche.

Looks like there's those two tabs on top with a screw in the middle. Seems kinda redundant to me lol, so I guess I'll just try to flip it up and if it breaks it breaks.

Still open to advice, sorry I keep double posting lol.

Kawasaki.com on the exploded view diagram. Not the same part number as my 1984-1985 A Model, but very close. Here is the H Model:

Yeah that was the first thing I did, mentioned that in the original post haha. But no worries, thank you anyways

I ended I'm getting the damn thing off. After all the flexing and twisting it wouldn't budge, so I went inside. When I came back out, it had literally.fallen out n it's own lol.

Looks like it just sits there but mine was stuck from never being apart haha.

Thank you everyone

Glad you got it figured out. I was going to add some pictures of my headlight, but no need to now.

While you have it out, I'd highly recommend adding an HID System. 55w Hi/Lo, and use the 5000 bulb, for the closest to white. The 6000 bulb has some blue tint to it, and is not brighter. See and be seen like never before. Plugs into your existing harness, and has a power, and ground.
Top on my mod list.

Yup that's actually my plan haha. Ddm makes great hid kits too

How do you feel about LED bulbs?

I'd love to change my stock brake and turn indicator lights to LED Bulbs, just haven't done it yet.
