Travlnman Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I know a few of you have removed the license plate light contraption that comes on the US models and replaced the block off plate on the bottom of the tail light lens with a clear lens. I'm going to have to do this because my 5-star rack was engineered for the european model and the brace that attaches between the left & right side racks goes right through the license plate lamp. My question is(before I end up busting up my tail light lens) is how did you get the block off plate out? I just put the whole tail section back together(body work/grab handle/luggage rack) and I do not want to do that again just to take off the tail light. It doesn't look like I will have to do that but it's better to ask first before getting out the chain saw. :chainsaw: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XX Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 i haven't done this on my bird, yet, but on my vfr800, i didn't even disassemble anything, just took a dremel tool mini saw to it and replaced it with a plastic sheet that came from a folder cover :shock: glued on.... kinda jury rigged, but might give you some ideas :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BOY Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I just used a screwdriver and pryed a little at a time all the way around the bottom of the tail light. Came right out. Then use that piece as a cut out pattern for the clear piece. ONLY make the new clear pieca bigger. You'll see what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
