Rear reflector on CVO Breakout
« on: May 20, 2013, 09:53:55 AM »

Need some help removing this. Is it as easy as just ripping it out from the back fender?

Took mine off with some WD-40 and dental floss.  It came off very easily then I cleaned up the tape residue with wd-40 and some elbow grease.

I think he's talking about the on on the rear fender.  Z06 Pilot did this and I believe it was a major job.  The rear fender had to come off.

If thats the case I'm thinking it can stay on.  I popped the rest of them off with a flat head screwdriver. Getting ready to put some kuryakyn led turn signals up front and led turn/run/break lights on the back.

Need to remove the rear fender to do this, But it is fairly easy. Just have to take your time and be careful not to scratch anything.

If your going to put on the docking points for a backrest, then taking the rear fender off is the easiest way. At that point all you need to do is remove the bracket bolts from one side bend the inner bracket up a little and the reflector pops right off.  Very simple and easy once you look at it.

By the way, taking the rear fender off is only four bolts and unhook the electrical.

yep, fender did have to come off.  There is a retaining plate attached to the fender.  Pop that off and the reflector comes out, then put the retaining plate back on the fender and re-attach.

Sounds easy enough. I need to install the docking kit for the sissy bar so I can kill two birds with one stone.  Just out of curiousity for anyone who has already done this, how does the saddlebag docking mount? Does it sit on top of the sissy bar mounting or is there a separate place for those bolts? Should be doing that pretty soon too.
