Well, this one was easier, in some ways, than the front ones.

1. You'll have to remove both seats, rear carrier and the one under the pillion seat.
2. I removed the 4 screws that hold the tail light/rear fender, but I did not pull it all the way off.
3. The rear OEM's remove the same as the front, spread the rubber grippers and pull the anchor plate off of the inner signal light mount.
4. Once loose, jiggle it around enough to determine which wire goes to that one and cut it loose somewhere where you can leave plenty of room to splice the connectors.
5. once connectors are ready thread same as for front: put thin spacer smooth side out over the wire, thread wire through hole, then thread thick spacer with recess facing out, and then the nut.
6. Once you get the signal finger tight and in place, the tricky part is threading the wire up through the tail. You just have to pull the tail assembly back and to the side so you can fit your fingers up enough to fish the wires through.
7. bundle up all your wires nice and neat and then put it all back together and go for a ride.
