Do folks ever reassemble and just slip the screens?
There's a similar system in the Subaru turbo oil lines with filters being in one to all of a few locations. You have to take them all off to find out. Surprise. The filter die then grenade the turbo, or worse. Only one is sort of easy to get to. Some require similar to a timing belt service. unreal... The solution is to remove them all.
Welcome! You'lll find a lot of great info through searching the forum and the service manuals here. The people aren't bad either. 🙂 (I have an aunt in Houston!)
I hear a small squeal, but it sounds like metal vibration to me.
Also, you can "not-earplug" all you want...but that only ensures that you won't be able to hear anything (including your VFR) as you get older. Get the plugs, you can hear the engine and intake just fine with them.
Looks like $40 for two fancy LEDs or $7 for an old school Hella from Wally World. ($3 from Summit, but then there's S&H.) Rock Auto $2. Price variances right now are nuts.
Perhaps make the angle right and just move the break between the black and white rearward a little. That would also move the bolt and hole into the white section.
Slightly afraid to revive this...but one of my 1998 VFR headlights died yesterday. Is there any reason not to replace one or both with a newer plug 'n play LEDs?

Is it okay to go 60/55 if they're LEDs instead of 45 45 without any troubles?

I rode mine! lol Just over 200 miles with my buddy Mac, who keeps supplying me with low mile old VFRs he finds. Both of my red ones came from him, as did my two trailers ago trailer. He showed up on a 600 mile perfect Bandit 1250 w/ABS. He has a knack! We covered all kinds of mediocre backroads. You guys should have come!
