Remove TFT cluster to fit Evotech Quadlock mount?

[Stevedotgone]

Hi all, have just received my Evotech mount and Quadlock wireless charge; before I start messing on trying to fit it (I’m not mechanically minded and my go to tool is a hammer…) are there any tips or videos on how to remove the cluster so I can get to the rear of it to fit the mount?

Had a look through YouTube and this forum, but couldn’t really find anything, so any help would be appreciated!

Step 1: Put the hammer aside
It is relatively easy.

Do you have allen wrenches? You will need it. Look under the display from the left and the right side - you will see one allen head bolt on either side. You need to remove those, and then the display will lift off. The display is a little tight (by design) and may need to pull a little. Note there is a cable connecting the display to the harness, so don't yank it off

Be careful putting the allen bolts back - very easy to strip the threads if you cross thread them.

Note: do check to see if you need to remove the display. I got a chigee evotech mount and realized that I could have installed it without removing the display.

IMO, Evotech has among the worst instructions I've ever seen - still usable though. Here's what I used for the chigee mount - it shows how to install without removing the display

Regular or metric allens?

As I was typing my response, I knew someone would ask...
I'm pretty sure it was metric, but I do not remember. I will check in a bit and reply.
Here's a pic in that meantime

Thanks have seen those two Allen bolts and will get on with it from there…

The fitting instructions are shocking from the Evotech website, but the mount seems really well made

One note - the chigee mount came with 16mm m5 bolts - those were too short. I had to get 20mm m5 bolts instead. I reported it to evotech.

Also, once the mount was attached to the display, it was hard getting to the Allen bolts (in the picture) to reattach to the motorcycle. I had to use ball-end allen wrenches.
