got to take off the strut covers. remove bolts, on the inside of the fender the turn sig is being held on by a nut. take that off and the strut cover will pop off. best way to do things is just starting wrenching on your bike. be patient and take it easy. that is how i learned a lot of stuff. you just gotta go for it!

Default rear turn signals

in fact I anm relocating them due to installing some nice aftermarket hard shell saddle bags ... I am making a PVC pipe adaptor for the liscense plate holder and will have it done in a day or 2 ... on it's 3rd redesign as I get it closer to what I want ... and the saddle bags have solid 2 " long 5/8 Dia standoffs that look pertty clean and decent and are very sturdy ... again I will post pictures when I get home ... rerouting the wires and cuttign tehm all down is the longest part but I like the stock amber lenses and that they use stock blubs available at Walmart ... the bags are an import ABS with junk foreight electrics I have already removed ... good luch be patient and take yoru time ...
