Like many others my bike rolled off the lot with rusted signal hardware. A call to a few dealers tells me this is extremely common, so much so that the part is back-ordered for all eternity.
My plan was then to pull the hardware off and have them cold blued at the local gunsmith. However, I can't figure out how to get them out! The torx on top or using a 7mm box wrench feel like I'm tightening either way. Maybe an internal nut? Either way I stopped screwing with it because if I break them there are no replacements. Anyone here done it?
So in the meantime, I went to work with a wire brush and some CLP. No scratches on the authentic German plastichrome. Keeping a thin film on there until a better solution pops up.
