Ok, so I saw what others did with the 2012 CBR1000R turn signal lenses and liked the look so I did it too. Took a pic of the great tab mystery mod to share with others to get them to fit properly.
Fist - buy the crap, two left - two right...lol. Dont' forget the amber bulbs, 1157 front, 1156 rear. I also ordered some red LEDs that fit the 1156 bulb hole for the rear. Hey - if Harley can use red, so can I.
Then trim the tabs. If you look real close you will note the screw shaft tabs are different for the NC and CBR lenses. Everything else is the same. If you don't trim these, the lense will not fit down flush, it will be cocked slightly.
I just hit the tab briefly on the ole' grinding wheel and whala! Fits perfect. This pic is a little fuzzy, but just grind or snip or cut off the tab. Bottom lens has the tab, top lense has it ground off:
Ok, anyway, here are some poor before and after pics. Have a nice day!!!
