K1300S Front Indicator Connector
« on: August 06, 2018, 12:46:54 pm »
Apologies if this is an old subject....

I have to replace my RH mirror due to an unscheduled impact. How far into the fairing do I have to rummage to find the indicator connector?

Just trying to save some work...  :)

If I remember correctly, when you remove the mirror fixing bolts, the mirror will fall away from the bike and the connector will become reachable.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Exactly! The screws are easily found inside the coaming at the base of the mirror stalk and from there it is a doddle.

Confirmed- so easy even I managed it a few times... 😎 though it was much easier to get to the connector when I loosened the bolts that keep the screen in place...

Late emerging biker - took the first bike plunge at 50 with a 12GT : swapped for a 13S 9 months in... then got my mitts on a lovely 2014 13R Dynamic in rrrrrracing rrrrred! Then the COVID came along... so I upped it to France and bought a V85TT... O Sole Mio etc etc!
