Need help installing new rear turn signals (Read 133 times)

Built2Last Serious Thumper Offline Tempt Fate Posts: 1447 FTF Gender:	Need help installing new rear turn signals 06/13/11 at 10:30:33 Ok, so I got my new rear turn signals that are OEM.. I cant figure out where these go: Do I need to take this bar off? I took off the nuts to try and remove it but it still isn't coming off. EDIT: found the nut under and inside the fender.

I still can't figure out where the connecters are. They aren't housed inside like I though and the official Suzuki diagram of the stock turn signals doesn't show anything useful.

WAIT!

don't splice! Don't splice!

Don't cut the stock factory harness on the bike!

Instead cut the factory turn signal wires! Install matching butt connecters(male ends) on signal wires add ALL kinds off different signals until you heart is content.

Plus sides:
Never have to cut and splice another set of signals again (most have butt connecters)
Save your factory harness from the butcher
Option to return to stock
And many more reasons.

Down sides:
You have 4 MORE (ugly)butt connecter hiding some where!

I'm sure a few more in either direction but preserving the factory (expensive, hard to find) harness should out weigh most negatives.
