  1. Hi All! I've got an '05 and I just swapped the amber turn signals for the clear that was offered in '06 & '07. It was relatively easy, but I thought that someone might find this useful. The first step is to remove the fairings. Here's a pic of the left signal from inside the cowl (sorry for a crappy pic!): After you remove the two screws holding the signal in place, you can easily pull the entire assembly out: From there, twist and remove the bulb socket. Unfortunately, Honda changed the bulb sockets from the '05 to the '06 & '07. The stock '05 socket looks like this: The new socket looks like this: The "correct" this problem, all you have to do is separate the socket housing from the amber/clear lens by releasing the tabs. From there, swap the amber and clear cover from the "old" to the "new" housing. This will allow you to utilize your existing bulb sockets and not mess with wiring. Here's a side view of one of the tabs on each lens: The only difficulty that I had was removing the right lens: As you can see, it's a tight fit. However, I was able to remove it without tearing the bike apart any further or causing any damage to the signal. First, I reached in and removed the bulb socket from the assembly. Then, I removed the screws securing the lens to the bike. From here... well, it was kind of tricky. I managed to twist the signal assembly out by pulling the cowl out from the bottom. All you need to do is swap your clear bulbs for amber bulbs and then put the everything back together. :thumbsup: Then... sit back, admire your work, and drink a cold one! :squid: Here are my before and after pics: _________________________________________________________________ Replacement Left Signal part info: Replacement Right Signal part info:

  6. I feel a bit bad for ya'll whose wives are not interested. They are missing out soooo much! I'd like to experience the Dragon... at least once and earn that sticker (& Killboy photo)! My hubby is usually on his Vstrom with my (soon to be) 12 yr old stepson and my 13 yr old stepdaughter is usually with me on my bike. We only run around locally with them, but it sure makes for a fun afternoon!
