Removing Dashboard on MP250A By Ernie (Read 1,169 times)

I want to remove the big plastic dash panel on my JCL MP250A. This is the panel that surrounds the steering shaft and has the glove compartment in it.

Can anyone tell me the secret for removing it? I tried once but it would not move very far, even after removing the large bolt inside the glove box.

I am hoping to mount a small motorcycle radio in the recessed circle on the left side. I want to use the existing speakers. The only other thing is I need to find a switched +12v and +12v going directly to the battery. I hear reverse polarity can cook one of these little radios.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome...I have a MC54B-250 Roketa.....2008.....you have to remove the front cover on the windshield...then the windshield....then the cover over the gauges...the covers around the handlebars....and the the front clip(which houses the headlights)....then you can get to the glove box area from the front....this should be enough...if not you will have to take the plastic off....a naked bike......start removing the easy stuff first then the rear...the green tinnerman clips need to be siliconed to the plastic which makes if easier to reintall the body panels...the windshield attachment nuts will fall through the body and you will have to use hallow wall anchors #6-32x1 to attach your windshield...Lowes or Home Depot.....obtain some rubber washers to cushion the anchors..... works great..

All correct instructions on removing the plastic and the fastners he's talking about on the windsheild are called well nuts a good idea but with Chinese rubber they don't hold well but go to your local ace hardware and get your own good ones and they work great!

When you get the radiao installed you need to hook up to any solid black wire on the 12vDC+ and green for ground, in fact you'll see a little plug hanging in the front not hooked up to anything, its a 12volt accesory plug with a black and green will be hot with the key on use it for your radio power.
