Floorboard and Buddy Peg Removal and Installation

To install the housing assembly, reverse the order of disassembly. Route the wire lead along the six nylon mounting blocks and through the hole at the left side of the fender. Make sure the rubber grommet is in place at the hole. Then secure the lead with new tie straps at the nylon mounting blocks. Tighten the housing retaining nuts to specification.

Bulb Replacement

Bulbs are easily replaced by removing the respective lens to gain access to the bulb. A single Phillips screw located at the bottom of the lens/housing is used to retain the lens. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw and lens.

Housing Removal and Installation

A one-piece housing with integral wiring harness contains the left and right signal lights and the tail/stop/license light. The housing is attached to the fender with two bolts.

To remove the taillight housing, remove the rear fender following the procedure under Fender Removal and Installation in this section.

From underneath the fender, cut the five tie straps that secure the wiring harness at the top underside. Pull the harness connector free of the rubber splash guard and the nylon strap blocks. Using a 7/16” socket, remove the retaining nuts and washers from the mounting bolts. Then remove the housing assembly, rubber gasket and wiring harness from the fender. To install the housing assembly, reverse the order of disassembly. Route the wiring harness through the rubber splash guard and secure it with new tie straps at the five nylon mounting blocks. Tighten the retaining nuts to specification. Apply silicone sealant at the rubber gasket and wire junction.

1/8" hex bit

7/16" wrench and/or socket

Motorcycle lift

Floorboard Procedure

Figure 180 — Floorboard Each floorboard (left and right) is mounted to a frame bracket with two pivot bolts on the inner edge. A stop screw with jam nut is located in the frame bracket just under the inner edge of the floorboard. The stop screw is used to adjust the mounting angle. For easier access to remove a floorboard, first raise the motorcycle off the ground, using a suitable lift. Remove the floorboard pivot bolt nuts, using a 7/16” wrench. Use a 1/8” hex bit to keep each bolt from turning as the nut is being removed. Pull the pivot bolts out and remove the floorboard.

Reverse the order of removal to install the floorboard. If required, loosen the jam nut and adjust the stop screw to the desired height before installing the floorboard.
