Rear Indicator Removal

[Middy2000]

Is there an easy way of removing the rear indicators?


Unbolting is easy but then the electrics disappear up a tube in the tail and don't seem to appear behind the toolkit area.

Unfortunately you need to take the tail piece off to get to the connectors but it's easy enough to do (10 mins)

[Middy2000]

Does that involve removing both side panels?

[vinnyb]

Yeah, it's really not a long job, both the side panels and the centre piece come off as one and slide off from the rear. Have you got a Hayne manual?

[Middy2000]

I have but to be fair I much prefer the expertise of you guys.


Cheers

Just remove the rear light

[Middy2000]

Are the front the same as rears apart from the stem length.  Are the fittings the same?
There's a set on eBay. They're advertised as rears but look too short to me. If they fit the same I might get them as it might look slightly better with shorter arms.

No unfortunately the fittings are different.

[Middy2000]

Thanks, I'll give this seller a wide berth then as I can tell from the photos they are front ones and despite me asking for clarification they've insisted they are rears.

The wires poke up some tubes and are connected right at the back near the tail light, just do what vinnyb said and take off the tailsection its 4 hex bolts if memory serves.

I have some genuine rear ones (and they are genuine rears) which i took off when fitting some bobby dazzler led ones.

I can send you pics of course, i live in lithuania postage shouldnt be that much

If they are in near perfect condition, or at least the left one is then I'll have them.
Send me a pm with your details and cost and I'll send the money across.

Now here's a crisis.


I drive a BMW
I ride a motorbike
I'm an avid cyclist
I'm a police officer


That must make me the most conscientious motorist around despite me driving the wrong car.
(I've only had it a month)

A replica can be bought here as a perfect secondhand one might be hard to find if all fails,
