Take note of plate and rubber seal placement	[image: k26.JPG]	6
Remove outer screws	[image: k08.JPG]	7
Watch out the windshield snaggs, there are several plastic fasteners on the faring that need to be removed I damaged one of them, be carful when removing them (rod and splay type plastic fasteners)	[image: k22.JPG]	8
Carefully pull off faring, the headlight wires are attached, it is not nessary to remove it entirely just move it so you have room to remove the Misuba relay	[image: k20.JPG]	9
I just moved it out of the way enough to reach in and remove the old relay	[image: k09.JPG]	10
Here is the OEM relay hanging from a rubber mount	[image: k10.JPG]	11
Carfully remove it, it has a locking connector, it is hung from a rubber mount with a palstic hanger	[image: k12.JPG]	12
The Signal minders plugs right into the same harness, it comes with a velcro fastener	[image: k17.JPG]	13
I opted to go one further and zip tie it in as well	[image: k13.JPG]	14
I zipped tied it horizantal and vertical	[image: k14.JPG]	15
Close up view	[image: k18.JPG]	16
This part is optional if you want ot connect the brake input, remove the seat and tank (need to rout a wire from brake light to front faring)	[image: k29.jpg]	17
I tapped into the rear brake light using an inline tap as shown (Radio Shack $1.29 @ 4 clips)	[image: k16.JPG]	18
Tap into one of the rear brake lights, the left side wire that is( green with a yellow stripe and red dots) this provides 12 volts input to keep the signal minder from canceling while the brake is engaged	[image: k15.JPG]	19
Run a wire from the rear brake light to the front faring and connect to the bottom of the Signal Minder	[image: k19.JPG]	Follow the same steps backwards to put it back together, I found it was easier to put back together.

Yes,

It is just a swap out of the turnsignal relays. The relay is located behind the top cowling behind the dash. It is just a simple plug and play device.
