Fun little Saturday in the garage, I must say. Installed the new Tail Tidy.

 Removing existing unit

- remove seats
- disconnect the battery

- unplug three connections: the light for the plate, and the two turn signal connections. These are located under the passenger seat, mark one grey plug on both sides to know which to reattach

-  unbolt the original fender and plate unit.

- now that existing unit is removed, unbolt the plate light and pull the wire through - you may need to lift a plastic retaining piece to make room for plug to be removed

- remove turn signals by prying the rubber clips off and twisting the signal out of it's hole

Installing lights on new unit

- the turn signal rubber boots have been cut down so the signal nut and bolt can be accessed (about an inch of the boot can be cut off). Image shows the piece to be removed. Now the remaining rubber can sit flush against the new plate. YMMV

- I drilled a larger opening on new unit for the plate light plug to fit through (you'll have the same problem with the other hole all the plugs go through to weave it up in to seat area).

- install the license plate light - I used grommets I had lying around on both sides to reduce vibration like the original mounting (original grommets are split and not as effective)

- weave the wires back into place up into seat area - I zip-tied the extra lengths of wire into a loop and out of the way off to the side

- re-plug connections together being sure to plug in previously marked connections.

- reconnect battery

Lastly, I checked the fit of the bag I use for trips and there is no issue with the signal lights being in the way! Summer can't get here soon enough...
