Posts: 36 Sanford NC Gender:	Front Singals 04/10/15 at 07:38:15 This is probably a simple question & I think i already know the answer, but I'll ask it anyway.. To swap the stock front turn signals with newer stock signals, does this require removing the top mount of the triple tree? Didn't know if anyone had found an alternative or easier way to do this.

The turn signals come out of that aluminum fork clamp.....there is a Phillips head set screw in the bottom side that holds the turn signal in place.

If you want to remove the entire clamp and replace it with a new one......then you have to take the top caps off...as they hold the tubes in place on the top yoke. Then you can loosen the pinch bolt on the bottom yoke.....and slide the tube down enough that you can get the turn signal clamp off.

Put a jack or something under the frame to support take the weight off the forks when you do this, and do it one fork leg at a time so the front wheel is supported.

OK....there is JIS screw that looks like a Phillips. And you most likely can use a Phillips - but try the one from your tool kit first as it is a JIS and will not booger up the head of the screw.....like a Phillips can.

The signals unscrew from the clamps easily...
