Smile Loose Front Indicator

Anyone know how to dismantle the indicators ie remove front indicators from mounting point , would like to change away from the chrome but while I'm waiting for the black to arrive I need to tighten up the stock one, if there is a link or something with a few pics would be great.
Cheers

To release the indicator housing, loosen the Allen screw in the front of the hand lever bracket which holds the turn signal housing ball end stud.

This will work only if your turn signals are mounted under the hand controls. Some are mounted on the pinch clamps on the forks. If yours are like that, loosen the pinch clamp bolt (only do one at a time!) and remove the bezel standoff. To remove the standoff from the bezel, insert the correct sized allen socket on a ratchet using an extension and remove the bolt that holds together the chrome standoff and bezel.
