Very nice product. Installation on my V Star 650 Custom was a snap. I also used the mounting bracket 49-2922, and moved the wiring back up under the tank. Did not come with any instructions, but quickly surmised red wire is for lowbeam, yellow for highbeam, and ground is through the frame via the mount.
I was afraid I would give up functionality for looks. But I discovered that this unit actually illuminates better than my stock light.

Very nice headlight!

To answer the question, it's a pain, but can be done.

Here's what i did.
First, heat it up a bit with a hairdryer. this made all the difference, since i spent twice as long before this trying to break it loose.
Now get a good grip on it either mounted, or between your legs. use either a rubber grip like they use to open jars, or a plain, rubber mouse pad. start working it counter-clockwise. It won't move at first, and you'll keep slipping a bit. Keep trying and at some point it will break loose and spin off.
Now there is a second ring inside. I used a phillips screwdriver in one of the small holes.
Also go CC to unscrew. this is also a pain, and be careful not to slip and damage threads or the glass.

Once these are off, you're there.
I was told to apply some Loctite (I believe blue, or whatever the non-permanent one is.)
This will keep the trim ring from spinning off during normal use and vibration.

There you have it.

Good looking and good quality product. I drilled a new hole farther back on the stock bracket of my Vulcan 900 and it worked great. Ran the wiring back under the tank.

Shipped on time and not one scratch. I actually spoke with one of the guys there to make my order, was professional and told me what I needed to hear about this headlight. Easy install on vstar1100 even with no directions. Was afraid it would be too small but once I installed it was perfect.

This headlight is great for the price, well made and well chromed, certainly a fine lower price alternative to a Headwinds, etc. The light is bright and it gives the custom chopper look you're wanting :) Prepare for compliments.

Regarding changing the light. The advice to use something like grippy kitchen gloves or old rubber jar openers or a mouse pad is good I think, but it didn't work for me. But super clean hands and the gripping fingerprints God gave me did. The outer ring comes off, and you can use a small tap and hammer to tap the inner ring off.

There is plenty of room in the back of the inside of the headlight, I mention this because I know of others who drilled a hole in the back rear and used a rubber grommet to stuff headlight and signal etc, wiring inside.
