    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

OK this could go here or electrical,it's a bit of both.

Pretty sure I've got the signals mounted wrong,so where do they mount?The underside of the "glovebox" is the only other place I can see.Or have I made a complete hash of it?
 
They are swapped side-for-side, and they go to the bolts at the end of the frame, the ones that also hold the fender to the frame. :D

In other words, just a few inches forward and a couple of inches up from where they are right now.

You can see those bolts in your picture.

.
 
Yeah that could work,I'll go try in a bit.Any idea what the things they are mounted on now are for?Pretty sure they where on there when I took it apart:-k
 
As Steve said. They go on over the frame with the rear fender bolts. They cap over the ends of the frame. So, he ones thats on the right in the pics goes on the left of the bike..and vis versa.
 
Those metal brackets theyre on now dont go anywhere...someone made that up. The tail piece sits on over everything and bolts thru the 3 holes in the rear plastic fender piece.

Like this...
