I'd like to start off by saying this project was incredibly fun, I had to cut wires, resolder, reshrink-wrap, and use most of my electrical, mechanical, and drafting skills to achieve this project.
I would like to state that if you attempt to use my walk through as a guide to do your own install from Powerbronze, I am in no way responsible for your screw ups.
In the beginning was the parasail:
By this I mean the GIGANTIC wing that is the license plate holder. We need to remove it...
1.) Remove the three mounting bolts that mount the rear fender to the underside of the bike.
2.) Disassemble the two parts of the fender so that you can unhook the 6 connectors that go to the tail light, license plate light and turn signals. Also disassemble the turn signals from the rest of the fender as you will need to dissect them for the stock connectors.
3.) Once the fender is fully detached and you're left with 6 connectors hanging off the back of the bike feel free to smash, crush, or stomp on the piece of junk you now have detached from the bike.
This is what you'll be left with hanging:
This is what you'll be left over with from disassembling the fender:
4.) Cut off the stock connectors for the brake light and turn signals, cut them off FROM THE LIGHTS THEMSELVES not the wire bundle still connected to the bike! Be sure to leave at least 2" on the connector end to allow for wire stripping and reattachment to the new parts.
5.) If you ordered the powerbronze turn signals like me, connect and heat shrink wrap the resistors to the turn signals ( this will seal them preventing moisture to short them out ).

:... wish I could come up with some nice looking to keep the stocker taillight. I have replace the stock taillight with the stock looking one with the turnsignals built in. Just need to get rid of that nasty hang down.
