How to remove front reflectors
All,
How does one remove the left and right reflectors on the front fairing, just above the Honda badge?

If I remember correctly, they just pop out.

I was able to remove the right reflector. It has a threaded rod with a nut on it.
No idea how to get the left one off.

Are they aftermarket?

Re: How to remove front reflectors
The "Just above the Honda badge." has me confused. Are they on the side of the fairing or the front? Can you supply a pic?

Re: How to remove front reflectors
That kind of looks like an aftermarket light set up...?
As far as I know, the reflector simply has a stud coming out the back and there's a nut on the inner side of the fairing. Which can be accessed through the pocket. Those reflectors are still available from your local Honda shop for around 15 bucks.

Re: How to remove front reflectors
Yes, you are correct.
I am will be installing the stock reflectors.
The right one I can remove inside the pocket.
The left one, with the pocket removed, there is a liner, what prevents it from being removed.
I am guessing I need to remove the entire fairing. Hoping there is an easier way.

What kind of liner? Mine doesn't have a liner.

Re: How to remove front reflectors
I was able to remove the reflector.
Appears all the wiring and curvature of the fairing, I was not reaching far enough.
I have the CB radio, which makes it very difficult to get to.
All good now.
