As is very common, I always remove the stupid reflectors that come on motorcycles here in the US. Usually the front ones are easy to remove, (like on the Busa). But the back ones are a pain as you aften have to disassemble the tail to get to the fasteners or rivets. Sometimes you even have to drill them out.
So for the rear ones on the the Busa it "seems" easy as they two exposed screws each. So I simply unscrewed them, however, only one of them on each reflector (the rear one) actually screwed out. The others seem to be attached to something on the other side of the undertail and it will not come loose. If you remove the seat/hump you cannot see anything because that area is blocked from view.
What is the trick here? Do I really have to disassemble the whole damn tail just to get at those fasteners? I was hoping I would nothave to do this. If I have to, how do you get to the plastic "pop" fasteners to remove the tail section? They are also hidden (at least the back of them where you need the center post back thru to release them).
