Step 1: Unlock the passenger seat and remove it completely http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE001.jpg Step 2: Remove all 4 hex screws (4mm) pictured here, be careful because the turn signal assembly will fall free http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE002.jpg Step 3: You now move to under the tail and pop-out the four black-plastic 'rivets'. You do this by pressing hard on the center button on them with something small and cylindrical, such as a miniature screwdriver http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE005.jpg

Step 4: Once the rivets are 'popped', they simply pull out http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE006.jpg Step 5: Next, the undertail piece comes out by sliding it toward the front of the bike, then dropping it down http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE007.jpg Step 6: It is suggested that the connectors on the to-be-discarded original rear turn signals be salvaged and used to connect the Amber Dancer turn signal wires to the bike wiring harness. To salvage the connectors, use a wire-cutter and snip the rear turn signal wires such that the turn signal connector is left with approximately 6 inches (15.25 cm) of wire. Do this to both rear turn signals and the license plate light. Remove the black wires from the turn signal connectors by snipping them off flush with the back of the connector http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE008.jpg Step 7: To remove the tail cowl, there are two screws under the passenger seat http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE009.jpg Step 8: Lift each rear of the operator seat and unbolt (10mm) it from the frame http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE010.jpg

Step 9: There are two more pop-out black-plastic 'rivets' under the operator seat http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE011.jpg Step 10: At this point, the complete tail cowl should now be ready to slide back and off http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE012.jpg Step 11: The taillight assembly is held in place by two screws at the back of the assembly http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE013.jpg Step 12: To unplug the taillight, simply follow the taillight cable to the connector at its end (about 2 feet), and unplug it. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE014.jpg Step 13: That's it! Package your stock taillight and return it to Samanna Systems for modification http://mywebpages.comcast.net/daekwan/amberdancer/IMAGE015.jpg To install the Amber Dancer Taillight, just REPEAT above instructions in reverse order (13-1)
