Frustration - TriAxis install '16 RTL

[Hound]

When we were getting frustrated, working on a piece of farm equipment, a former boss would say "Some engineer got a bonus for designing it that way."
Well if I ever meet that engineer . . .
:banghead:
Especially removing that plastic ring around the ignition.
:gaah:
Thanks to the gentleman that did the three videos as they are a great help, although it's the first videos I set to a slower speed.
:clap:
:2thumbs:
Glad I have a few months to get things done and don't have to hurry. (and risk breaking things)

I was able to find a couple bolts, unseen but got a socket on them. Recovered one from the floor and the other disapperaed into the innards somewhere. Can't get a socket on the other two yet..

Trying to disconnect GPS but cannot find a disconnect anywhere.
Traced the cable marked in red. Ignore other wire terminal marked as red as it was one of two I marked red or blue.








pictures didn't load in the order posted and one turned sideways. picture # in viewer is the order.

What looks like a terminal in pic # 2 doesn't seem to be a disconnect and I'm reluctant to pull any harder on it.

Is this what you are installing?

Yes that's it. I did about the same as you did.
I hate those hidden bolts that can't be seen and not mentioned in any instructions or videos.
I finally found the GPS connecter behind the gas tank.
I'm at the install point now and since I bought the bars second-hand, (on this forum),
I'm going to have to pick up some bolts but that's not hard to do.
I get easily frustrated and just do a little at a time as my riding season isn't until late April-early May.
