Bike is a 98' R Suzuki Bandit 600.
My dipped beam, speedo and rev counter lights have gone, all within short time of each other just as my MOT is due ... arse.
From what I've searched the headlight is easy to swap bulbs but how simple are speedo and rev counter lights ? if you have to remove the speedo cable is it easy to refit ? sorry for all the questions but deciding whether should attempt myself.

I've no experience of unhooking a speedo cable on a Bandit, but every one I've ever done before has been a screw fitting collar that holds the cable in. Not hard, maybe fiddly - but definitely worth a go on your own. If you get stuck get your camera out, take pictures and post them. Thumbs Up

Cheers for that, will give it a go. Don't tend to ride at night much in summer and they both failed about a year ago. As long as there's no springs that'll go flying off I should be fine lol.

Haha - I never said there weren't any springs!! Shocked But there aren't. I think the hardest thing you'll come up against is getting hold of the bulbs to go in the clocks. In the end I had to order some for my Hornet. Thumbs Up
