So I installed my TST Industries Integrated Tail Light, Fender Eliminator, and LED Turn Indicators.
The whole install went well, although I broke one clip on one of the body pieces right below the Driver's seat. Those damned friction fasteners..
The only thing that gave me a hard time is putting the Passenger's seat back in afterwards. It's like the pegs at the rear wouldn't go as far in as before, on top of the light, so I couldn't get the front locking part in place without using a lot of force. I know fitment can't always be 100% spot-on with aftermarket parts, but is there something I might have done wrong, or something I can do to fix it? Had a time getting the light into place, too. In any case, I intend to get the Rear Cowl in the near future.
All of the fasteners, screws and rivets were perfectly lined up.
Other question, about the Driver's seat. Do I need to be extra careful putting it back into place, to ensure the bike's electronics are protected from water? The two bolts lined up perfectly, and I made sure the two pegs on the back went into their slots. Should be all there is to it, right?
Pictures will come tomorrow if the weather is nice!
Edit: I took an Xacto knife to those little plastic pegs, and it fits perfectly now. There was just a bit of excess plastic somewhere and it didn't let them fit in quite right.
