TOXXIC Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Both of my 1998 XX's had simple, round plug male/female turn signal and running lamp connections; which could be quickly disconnected to remove remove the turn signal and mirror from the upper fairing. On my 2001, I can unplug the running light with the same connection, but the other two wires feed into a plasic junction box that does NOT want to feed through the hole in the fairing for the mirror stay. Please don't tell me I have to pull the upper fairing or gauge surround plastic just to remove the mirror? Can it be wiggled through? Appears the fairing stay encroaches on the hole. I am trying to install LED resistors to run my new LED front signal bulbs, and I want to replace both mirror cup housings as they had minor scuffs. (I know, I am insanely anal about stuff.) Thoughts? Wisdom? or laughter from the peanut gallery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Take the windscreen off and you can reach behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 That is ridiculous! So much easier on the 1997 or 1998. Joe, now I am starting to see why you told me the F.I. weren't Honda "heroin" I thought they were! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoMan Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Fun, ain't it? I'd have some of those weird rubber-encased windscreen nuts handy if you take the windscreen off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXX Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 On my '99 I can feed the connectors through the hole one at a time w/o much trouble. After that you can hold them in place with clothes pins. If it gets lose and falls back in, I use one of those long grabber thingys to reach in & fish it out. So it can be done.

JuXXtin Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Tox, I got a tiny bit of wisdom... don't mess with the signal resistors. Buy a new turn signal relay from the auto store... makes sure it says LED on it (the actual part). About $3-$6. Then replace that into your current relay spot... and connect/solder in the wires. My 2cents. Thought I had a couple pics, but must not have uploaded them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuXXtin Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Thanks, pictures would be cool. With the holidays, it'll be a week or so before I can dig them out. But sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuXXtin Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Guess it was more like $12 for the part after looking again. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=58762 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Guess I will be going shopping. I wired resistors for the rear, integrated C.A. LED brakelamp/signal setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
