I saw the Complete List of How To's here and it is great.
I bought recently on Ebay a new little licence plate holder.
The plate holder is made to fit in the standard mounting points, so it will not be a problem to fix it. But can anyone tell me what i need to remove to install the new plate holder?

What i think that will cause problems are the wires that connect the turn signals. I need to disconect them to remove the old plate.

All help is wellcome ;-)

When you take off the pilon seat(passenger) there will be 4 screws through the trunk that hold the plate holder on. I think they're either 4 or 5 mm hex/allen heads. Once you take those out the old plate holder will drop down.
You'll want to pop the push screws around where the rear fairing and the seat pan come together. I think there are 3 down each side. They look like a plastic circle with another circle inside. If you push in on the center/smaller circle the whole thing pops out.
This will give you more room between the seat pan and the trunk to fish out your wires and re-connect everything.
