    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've got an 82 GS750T, and she's currently being picked apart for rebuild/cleaning as I go. I can't figure out how to remove my brake light and rear blinkers, without cutting the wires. And so I can't remove my rear fender.

Is there something that I'm missing? If so, I'm sure it's really simple.
Want to remove the rear fender so it's easier to clean. Don't want to cut the wires, cause then I'll have to put them back together.
 
There are definitely connectors, you just have to find them. They can be in some darn strange places, too. Just trace the wires until you find the connector. Make sure to clean and/or replace the connectors while you're at it, these bikes are notorious for corroded connectors.
 
You'll probably trace them back to somewhere under the right sidecover or near the battery.
 
If you still have an airbox with the filter in it they are under there.
 
So far all I've found is where the wire leads into the wiring harness, the main part of it. I'll look again tomorrow, but I don't see a way without cutting something.
 
When it joins the wiring harness, is there a rubber "boot" covering that section? Maybe a previous owner taped over the connectors. Does the wiring look stock?

If you do decide to cut the wires, cut it at an easily accessable area and make sure you leave yourself plenty of room to install insulated bullet connectors.
