Got some work done tonight. Ordered up a Competition Werkes fender eliminator and some spool ends. It is such an improvement removing those factory signals/reflectors/plate frame. I was very impressed by the detailed instructions Competition Werkes provided. Much better than the lack of them for my 08 and 09.

Easy stuff first :0 I choose these spool ends over a lot of the bigger brands. The bigger brand names are pretty large. These are smaller and aren't much of a distraction.







The start point



Undoing my solo seat work and removing all the brackets blocking the wiring



Yamaha decided red locktite was a great choice on these bolts. This was easily the worst part of the install. Sadly I have not purchased allan head sockets so I was using a key set that was just barely too short to make full turns, thus making me do angled quarter turns fighting the locktite fuuuuuu



Parts lined up in order of removal for easy reinstall





Light and bracket mounted



The first signal mounted





The start of the wiring. I opted to retain the factory plugs ends rather than use their aftermarket ones. It was nice that Competition Werkes pre-wired resistors into their harnesses which prevents hyperflash.





All finished, soldered, shrink wrapped, some fresh electrical tape and zip tied in place.



Signal test, both sides work as does the plate frame light



Finished product







Pazzo's to come next! I think that will be it for the bike for a while. I'm leaning towards burning off the factory tires then upgrade. On the fence on what I feel like doing in that respect. Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying the pics.
