Default How do I remove antenna studs from tour pak light bar

Nothing better to do while watching 15" of snow fall so finally going to make a template and mount the tour pak light bar on my RGS.

I want to remove both the studs in the picture (clutch side of the light) since I won't be using a tour pak antenna. I assumed they were just threaded into the light housing at first but since they move side to side I don't think that's the case. I don't want to gronk on it with vice grips and ruin the threads just in case I decide to use the antenna at a later date. Any idea how to get these off without trashing the threads or the housing?

Like I said they wiggle around so they're probably not threaded into the light housing itself. Will probably just end up double nutting each one and trying that.

It just turns out from the inside, the plug end. You might have to put some rubber or leather around the threads and use a pliers.

Just a GUESS. I would see if #26 will unscrew from #28.

Thanks for the site. Those are the side marker lights from a 13 down, but I'll try to look up the run/turn/brake for a 14 up.

Much appreciated, I'll check the drawing and give that a shot.

Just put a rubber cap on it. Cost like 50 cents.

Find out what size nut threads on to it and thread one on then thread another on top of the first .. put two wrenches on to the nuts and thread them opposite directions toward each other.. (thread the bottom one off as you thread the top one on) until they they jam together then use the bottom nut to turn the threaded part out.

There are hex screws on the inside, toward the tour pak ,to loosen and they come right out.

Thanks Harttoo, that took care of the brake side. I should have noticed that when I first looked at it.

Found some spare hose from when I did my breather bypass a few years back and slipped it over the threads on the clutch side and it threaded right out.

Thanks again and ride safe.
