by lifting the exposed latch in the previous step, you move this end of the lever from behind the ignition switch. This is the lever you need to disengage in the removal step above. You can see the mechanism that opens the glove box when pushing in the ingition lock. (To see a larger version for more detail, look at the gallery linked at the top of this thread.) Here's what's behind the glove box/legshield liner looking at it from the right side. Here's what's behind the glove box/legshield liner looking at it from the left side.

The other end of this lever is behind the ignition switch, and if you forget and jus start yanking, you will be attempting to pull the ignition switch out! As you disengage this lever, look at how it is engaged with the ignition switch so you will know how to reinstall it. Be sure to manually disengage the metal lever that latches the glove box closed. Pull out at the bottom first, and then slide it down so the top can get around the underside of the headlight housing. You sort of have to wiggle and shake it to get it loose. Here is a photo showing the glove box/legshield liner just as it is being removed. Keep these separate from the two screws used on the front of the legshield. This keeps the plastic from cracking when the screw is tightened. This is so that when the screw is tightened into place, the shoulder tightens against the stop rather than the head against the plastic. These three screws are "shoulder screws." They have a shank (or shoulder) that is smaller than the head, yet larger than the thread. These are especially prone to stripping the head, as they are at a difficult angle to access. Then remove the three screws on the inside of the glove box. That's why you need to use the largest screwdriver that will fit in the slot. Be careful to hold the screwdriver tight against the screws, as they are quite tight and prone to stripping. These hold the top of the glove box/legshield liner against the backside of the legshield.

Using a #3, or preferably #4 (large) phillips screwdriver, remove the top two screws under the horn cover. That's the horn at the bottom and a fuse block at the top. Here's what it looks like behind the horn cover.

Then lift the horn cover straight up and pull it toward you to remove. Using a #2 (medium) Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw that is behind the Piaggio emblem. Then tilt the Piaggio emblem until the tab on the left side disengages. Carefully pry off the Piaggio emblem by inserting a screwdriver in the slot on the right (as you look at the emblem.) Protect the paint with a rag. Here's the product (RS #270-1556 $7.49) : īegin by removing the Horn Cover.
