    Default Thanks PawPaw!

    Father in law just jacked up the bike a week before Spyderfest. Not too bad the rear signal light on the STS. Backed into the bike right at the light I see no other damage.

    Going to dealer anyway Tuesday for 4600 mile check hopefully they can fix it quick. The light works just the retain mount is broken, worse case I can epoxy it on as a quick fix if need to what for parts.

    Okay what's next?

    sorry to hear..know you can not order parts only the whole assembly. If they have one in stock should be a 10 min job to replace it. Good luck..!!

    You can order the part on cheapcycleparts.com and change it yourself. I did it on mine and it is just plug-it-in set up. Very easy.

    I was able to get it back on my taking apart the light, putting it in place then reassemble the light, it's holding but there is still a broken tab and cracked retainer on the bike side, but it's holding its own a couple days now at highway speeds no glue or tape.

    Dealer estimate is $101. About half on part and 30 mins of labor.

    Will get it replaced after Spyderfest, guess it will come out of the wife's inheritance.
