Flushmount front signals

[madmike]

so i just got some smoked signals from D2 Moto and im gonna install them tomorrow. The question i had was do I need to take off the fairing? and how do I take off the stock ones? Can i just twist them off from the outside and then undo the connector? Im just afraid of breaking the fairing or a clip that I may need in the back

No, you need to take off the fairing. They are secured by a kind of clip on the back side.

Taking off the fairing is really easy. Take off the radiator cover in the front (4 bolts), pop the quick release faster that holds the two fairings together in front, then simply remove all the bolts holding the fairing on. Pretty easy.

Putting my radiator cover back on is the only pain in the ass...bolts never want to line up right, just takes patience and lots of cursing.

I was able to do alll of my stuff for the protons with out removing fairings at all. You can reach in from the front of the faring and get the clip off and then pull the old signals off after unplugging harness from also inside the fairing from the front. Then i did the wiring and installed the protons from the outside of the fairing on the bike. Used a 1/4 ratchet with extension to put the nut and washer on from inside and plugged in harness. It is def a job to be done without removing the fairings. IMO

You must have some serious X-ray vision dude

No man. i work on cars for a living. I get payed to find the quickest way of removing and replacing stuff. I did not have to touch the fairings. It can all be done from around the front or through top by triple trees. Honestly. not trying to be rude or anything. It is infact how i did them though

 

[madmike]

Oh I don't doubt you for a minute. But I also know I would have ended up throwing a lot of crap around my garage had I tried it that way

 

[rskinz6r]

i know i can get to them from the fairings on the top but can i just twist the turn signals down to snap them out?

All you need to do is lift the tab and they come out in 5 second. I did mine in about 20 minutes, 1/2 hr if you milk it. No need to remove the fairing. But if you do it might be a little easier... personal preference. I don't remove mine even to do oil change anymore...

 

[rskinz6r]

yeah i dont wanna remove the fairings, thats prob where most of time would be anyway. I know i can reach no prob. Thus tab your talking about what exactly does it look like? If someone is willing to take a pic one side that would be cool. I know a lot of peeps didnt take off their fairings to get to them so its got to be super easy

Two pics attached, sorry the one is really blurry. basically, the rubber grommet on the turnsignal slips over the tab of the plastic backing part. You'd just reach back there and all you need to do is slip one side off the tab, and the whole thing will pop off...then pull the signal through the hole (pinch the rubber grommet a little to squeeze it through.)

Also, the wiring is in a kind of built in retainer channel, but that comes out easily enough, just be gentle back there and you won't break anything.

ok i see what tab everyone is talking about. Ill try the install tomorrow and see how it goes

ok so i tried just a little while ago with no luck. Wiring is disconnected but i try pullng that tab and it feels like im gonna break everything including the fairing.

What do i need to pull on to pop the clip? the side of the signal that holding the clip or pull the clip up from the back of the signal (lets say im working on the right signal)

 

[rskinz6r]

alright well i got them done couple hours of go. I finally figured out how to pop the clip of and i was like "oh im a noobie lol". It was super easy and no removing the fairings. Mine surprisingly run as running lights even though the OE connectors on the flushies have 2 wires, weird. they are smoked and look awsome! They do stick out a little more than most i have seen which is fine by me : )

I JUST installed mine an hour or so ago. With the Protons, it is:

Black to Black
Red to Blue

And the package will tell you which of the Proton wires to connect to the last wire depending on the pattern you want (yellow is the strobe, orange is the steady flash, both together are the slow fade.)

Did you find that the stock rear signals flashed really fast after installing the protons?

I'm having the same issue. Is this normal?

 

[spider2k]

Sampson- if you haven't replaced the flasher with one designed for LEDs then there's your issue. LEDs don't show a large enough load(resistance) for the original flasher to function properly.

rskinz6r- I'd check for turn signals. there's no way you can do both on 2 wires unless the front is opposite the rear.

 

[SampsonNation]

All I did was install the Proton Flush mounts according to the instructions.

There were no extra parts.

The front flash accordingly and the rear just flash a little faster. On Proton's website, they say that can happen.

At this point, my bike is all together.

 

[spider2k]

if it doesn't bother you then you should let it go. if it does then you can simply replace the flasher with one designed for led's. its easy to access under the rear seat/cowl so no disassembly needed.

heres the one i have on my bike:
