When I get orders from Zanotti they are usually boxes packed inside of boxes. If the box you received is beaten up then it sounds like the box came open during transit and some of the parts came out/fell out/grew legs and left...

Thats is a possibility I guess because it was just loose stuff with bubble wrap around it. Hopefull I can get this resolved today but was a big build up anticipation thing with a huge let down upon opening. :-/

Update:
Been shooting emails back and forth with Bill at Zanotti's and he thinks what Martimus says is probibly the situation and claims that this is not the first time this has happened. It sucks yes but I do have to say I am happy with how quickly Zanottis handled this. He has already ordered another deluxe kit and is gonna send me what I am missing out of it. Thanks for the quick responces and interpritations.
BTW anyone know how to disassemble the turn signal so I can send the bucket off to powder coated?

Zanottis has always done right by me. I have spent thousands there. They even swapped out an LED gas gauge 6 months after purchase when the MoCo only warranties electronic items for like 90 days. My cash will go to them or Dr. Vtwin every time.

They are good people but not real good at packing for shipping. The last order that I received came in a beat up box with holes in it. Nothing fell out but my bars were damaged. Zanottis made everything right without me having to fuss at all. I will continue to buy from them without reservation.

Miked - removing the "guts" of bullet turn signals is a picky/tricky job, but not impossible. I've done it on my Deluxe front and back, as well as my Sporty front and back.
The best way I've figured out is to disconnect the turn signals at the wire harness, remove the plastic Deutch connectors, pull the signals off of the bike, and then start on the bullet housing disassembly.
Remove turn signal cover (amber or red plastic pops out). Remove bulb. Pull inside silver bulb housing straight out - takes some delicate pulling, it's wedged into the housing by a rubber gasket . I use a bent coat hanger to to this, which I think is the hardest part of this job.
Once you get the housing out, you have to carefully pull the "guts" out of the bullet, but the hard part is to pull the stopper on the light wire into the housing. The stopper is what keeps the wires secured inside the housing. After you get the stopper to pull inside the housing, the length of the wire is pretty easy to pull through.
This gets everything out of the housing so you can PC it. Once you get it back, reverse the above steps.
This sounds garbled and complicated, but the process is pretty simple overall once you get the wires disconnected and have the turn signal in your hand.
Hope this helps.
