  1. I tell you what....punch me sideways from a hotrod driven by Brian from Family Guy...:rolleyes:


    Not as easy, well quick as I had thought.


    I need to chnage the rear indicator stalk on the 848 ( on the right in the pic). Its busted and taped on. Awkward is a word Id use to describe how to change or am i missing something ?

    I bought two indicators from fleebay attached to the holder ( see pic below), happy days.

    But its been a chor to figure how to get the stalk out.

    I got 2 bottom but not the 3rd top bolt out last night.There is a black cover on the back of the holder. Cover was loose but just wouldnt come off.

  2. Those 3 bolts then it should just come off. Mine was a tight fit though, needed prizing off.
     

  3. Tks Matt. Must go at it a little harder !
     
  4. The problem I had when I removed the tail on my 1098, was the f-ing wires and the connectors. I couldn't get them through the little holes, as I replacing the whole unit, I cut the bastards :upyeah:
     
  5. See, the stalks have to be soldered so I need access. Looks like its a tail strip job.
