GriffXX Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Due to last week’s little mishap (it’s been one week. why am I still sore?), I need to replace the Left side mirror/turn signal assembly. I’m not sure what part(s) I should be ordering. The assembly got ripped off at the bolts. The turn signal connector (white plastic connector) separated as designed. The single wire next to it split, meaning the connector together held and just ripped the wire. I think I may be able to solder and salvage it, if need be. Plastic is scratched pretty good, but may be repairable with some paint. The amber lens cover is pushed in, but possibly salvageable. So here is my question, “What do I need to order?” Is the Left Turn Signal-Mirror Assembly, 88120-MAT-D01ZA, the be-all / end-all, just bolt it on and reconnect? Or do I need more? If the above doesn’t include the wiring, and I can’t repair the turn signal wire, is there a part number for the wiring harness? Lastly, I am real tired of replacing the alternator cover (last time from an ex-wife pushover). I slid on grass, yet and the cover is scratched? WTF? What can I do to this? Thanks guys.

birdie_xx Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Have you looked here ? http://www.ronayers.com/fiche/200_0351/tur...turn_signal.cfm #'s 2 and 7 are for the '97/'98 model , the 18 and 19, for the '99-on..... http://www.ronayers.com/fiche/200_0351/bac...back_mirror.cfm #'s 6 and 12 are the complete asemblies, sans the t.signalls !!! They also skip the mounting bolts. From here, click on the color tables, to find the correct color for your year.... http://www.ronayers.com/fiche/200_0351/bac...back_mirror.cfm IS your bike '97/'98 ? The part number you posted indicates the early model.......... Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffXX Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thanks guys. This helps. It's a '99 'Bird, and I tell you what, this crash has done wonders for my getting to know the insides of the XX. I've taken the entire signal / assembly apart. Of course, the one thing I can't get undone is that same damn underside screw that Joe has an active thread on. Heat / WD40 / soaking just aren't getting it. So now I can't separate the the Stay (? - the long bar) from the cover. It looks like the Stay is the only thing that broke (at the bolts). Maybe a new stay and a cover and I'm set.

NewBird Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I've used products from this company http://www.kanolabs.com/ many times with success. Click on the link for Penetraing - Lubricating Oils. By the way, can you post the part number of just the plastic shell? I need one for my 2002. Thanks. Good luck......

GriffXX Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 I basically used a Dremel to deepen the head of that bottom screw and was able to get a good grip on it. So I saved the Cover and all it looks like I need now is the Stay and that stupid Pan screw. $33 is a lot cheaper than the $160ish I thought I was going to have to pay for the entire mirror assembly plus wiring. I miss the riding (although all we've had is rain), but this is actually fun and I am learning a lot. Thanks again for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffXX Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Joe - did you ever find a way to win that battle against the screw? That little thing was a b!tch. I'll drop a hex where the housing connects to the stay. I was able to save the housing. The signal lens got pushed back a little, but after some "de-mudding", everything fits and lines up fine. I'll try the black primer on the Alt. Cover. There really aren't scratches I have to sand down, more like friction wear from the grass slide. Actually, black will look a lot better than the standard color anyway. Parts ordered. I should be back on the road next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockmeupto125 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I won, kinda. At least I'm smarter. See the mirror screw thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
