I have an 04 Xr and I want to remove the gauges to do a little bit of tampering.
Removed my bezel and can't see any screws or anything.

Can someone post a how to, or link me to one that may already exist. (One with pictures would be nice please?)

You have an awesome filter? That sounds unfortunate.

Thanks man.
Looks pretty straight forward.
Unscrew one thing then undo two clamps. :)
