Replace front reflector bolts for free

Dat_Ninja_There · March 22nd, 2011, 09:29 PM

Sorry in advance if this has been discussed before.

So you removed your front hugger reflectors but have ugly annoying holes now. Well, FYI you can use 2 of the 4 bolts under the rear seat to fill in those holes.

1. Remove front reflector bolts from the front hugger
2. Unscrew the reflector from that black bolt
3. Remove rear seat and find the 4 silver bolts holding the rear fender on
4. Remove the 2 lower silver bolts of the 4 mentioned in step 3
5. Replace the 2 silver bolts with the 2 black reflector bolts from the front hugger
6. Use the 2 silver bolts to replace the black reflector bolts

Hey, its free, the bolts are the same thread pattern, it works like a charm, cleans up the front end, and no one can see thos black bolts under the seat anyways.

Black bolts from front hugger after reflector has been unscrewed

2 bolt positions that I swapped out

End results

Jesus....I'll rescale these pics when I get to the office. Lol, didn't realize they were so annoyingly large.

Also, you can take the other allen 2 bolts under the rear seat and swap them with the 2 phillips screws on the side covers. That way you can have all matching screws on the exterior!
