Saw a video on how to take of the lower plastic but cannot find it. Anyone seen it and can link it would be greatly appreciated.

Ride Safe.

I need to remove the lower lenses so I can install LED emergency flashers behind them. I think the video I saw showed putting the chrome valances on. I tried searching YouTube but must not be using correct phrases.

Don't know about the video but to remove your lower lens:
Open both saddle bags
Remove license plate bracket (2 screws)
Remove lower plastic molding below lens (2 screws on bottom center, and 2 on each side upper and lower of exhaust pipe)
Lift center of M then top two tabs then bottom 2
Remove 5 tail light screws 1 ea located at the top/bottom and middle corners of the V. There are 2 guide pins (plastic) one each at the top and bottom of the 2 part V
You can unplug or twist lock out the bulbs, your choice. I took the opportunity to shoot some diletic grease into the connectors while there.

Hope this helps but if you need a video I can make one. It is only scarey the first time.. lol.. Post if you need help or shoot a message.
