The turn signals are not connected to the taillight, so you should not have any problems.

It seems like they are there's the square plug that goes in to my taillight then a 3 prong and one prong and my turn signals were plugged into the wires that came out of the taillight I'm probably wrong I know that I suck with electric.

I know the plug you're talking about. You're right about that.

Honda wiring is very basic though,and easy to grasp. You'll have a green wire back there that grounds everything. I think tail light is brown. I forget the color for brake lights.

Then you'll have a blue and orange for left and right turn signals. With a diagram and some help I'm positive you can handle it. Just holler. We can walk you through it!

Thanks Im waiting on a manual to come in for now im fiberglassing a new seat pan and sanding down the tank. almost have the engine all cleaned up and rdy. next question if i sawp over to pod filters will I have to rejet the carbs? i would like to go to shorter mufflers I know with straight pipes on my 86 750 mag I had to rejet for that but for mufflers I dont belive I will have to. Im a welder and boddy worker I can do a bit of mech stuff. This will be my 1st solo fixer up. Later down the road when money allows I will pull the motor and do a full rebuild. Once the taillight and clubman cafe handlebars next will be a new tach/speedo I want to remove the old cluster so any advice on that please. Ill try to post some pics this weekend.
