Turn them until they rise a little bit and then pry the base up and out. Real easy.

Word. Can't tell you how long it took me to realize you just had to push the center of the push rivots in. I felt like a new man when I discovered that.

i can relate.

i fucking hate asking stupid questions like that, but ffs trying to force one little thing like that can end up costing you 800 dollars in the long run if you fuck something else up.

Service Manual FTW.

I could not get the tail off my bike the other day...looked in the book...you have to take other pieces off first and there are sneaky little tabs in weird places.

Ditto with the uppers on mine. There are three screws underneath pieces where you'd never think to look. One goes to a frame tab, and two go to the headlight surround. Try to force it, and *SNAP*. Luckily, mine was broken the first time I took it off and I could see everything.

I demand pics of the new signals. I looked for those arrows and all I have is the oval short stalk minis. I think I gave the arrows to someone local, maybe M1$3R
