What's the best way to remove the speedometer? I've just bought a 4 in 1 combo and I am trying to figure out how to pull the cable out

My Breakout still has the 1157.

'14 Breakout-1156 front, 1157 rear. Now they are custom dymamics so it doesn't matter.

So it's safe to order 1157 front and 1157 rear then
I guess 1156 are old fashion light bulb
The speedo was easy to remove

No, 1157 is a dual filament bulb, 1156 is a single filament. I ordered led bulbs from Superbright led's, they are both 1157

1157 bulb won't work in a 1156 socket and 1156 bulb won't work in 1157 socket. Turn both bulbs upside down and compare the contacts, 1 vs 2.

I've seen someone manage to stuff a 1156 in a 1157 socket, It crossed the contacts and had a mechanic stumped for hours

Custom Dynamics should have the fitment information or how about simply looking at what is in your bike?

I don't have any pics or videos, but they were not as bright as I would have liked. Going to get the Harley ones.
