you could probably use epoxy and make all the parts come out good and durable...
save a lot of money due to the need to disassemble the lowers...
Thanks guys. I really wish there was a "front end how-to pictorial" that we could sticky. I have a hard time grasping what the manual is saying until I actually get my hands on the bike. I learn much better by "doing", but mistakes can be costly when the bike is your main transportation.

As far as turn signal wiring goes, I don't have any on my bike, LOL. I do think I may have ran the internal wiring through the bars and through the hole in the top tree... I will have to check when I get home. I really hate digging the wires out of the frame because of the way they are just jammed and tangled in there.
