Trying for the last few frustrating hours to remove the throttle and headlight levers in order to remove the dash board for painting and wood graining. Is there some secret? Anyone know how they come off to facilitate removal of the dash? Any suggestions? Thank you!!

Should look at the underside of the dash and see that they have a nut from the inside holding them in place that threads on the main housing under the dash. Going to have to bend a little to get to it though.

Thank you! Seems to be true on throttle handle, not so on headlight though. Will investigate more.
