Just took delivery of my 04 Xb12r, I would like to remove the relectors connected to the rear blinkers, but don't know how. Any help would be most appreciated |

you just loosen the signals from the inside fender. You may want to insert a spacer in its place. fyi, the front ones on the forks just peel off. |

Yup - although loosening those rear ones can be a pain. I popped the front ones off and then used a heat gun to help soften the double sided sticky stuff - peeled off like a charm. This was necessary for me - I didn't have any place to put the inspection sticker. I also removed the rear license plate mount and replaced it with a mini mount - just enough to bolt up through the same frame piece and hold the plate. (Message edited by CruiSin on March 24, 2005) |

Ted, Do I access the Signal from under the passenger seat or under the tail section? |

Take out the tail light - I think you have to get at the nuts through there. (Message edited by CruiSin on March 24, 2005) |

Wammy,I just removed mine last weekend. It's easiest to remove the tail plastics after removing the seat. Then just loosen the turn signals enough to slip the reflectors out...John |

Yeah, I just swapped out my rear signals and removed the reflectors a couple of days ago. Easiest to remove both seats and remove the tail plastic as Eurotwins mentions. Believe the nut was a 12mm or 13mm holding the turn signals on. You don't have to completely remove the signal as the reflector bracket is notched and will slid off once you loosen the signal out about 1/4". A replacement license plate bracket will also clean it up. One of my future purchases. |
