If the motorcycle is registered according to German law (older
vehicles prior to 1998), please observe the following provisions
in accordance with the German Road Traffic Licensing
Regulations (StVZO) during installation:
Distance between the front turn signals of at least 340 mm
(inside edge of turn signal lens to inside edge of turn signal
lens), whereby each is 100 mm from the headlight (edge to
edge)
Minimum height above the road/ground 350 mm (bottom
edge)
Bar-end turn signals on vehicles made in 1987 or later do
not render the rear turn signals redundant. E-approved bar-
end turn signals are only tested for their effect as a front turn
signal (lens marked with 11) and must therefore always be
complemented by rear turn signals, even on older models.

Attachment
Securely jack up the vehicle using the centre stand or
motorcycle lift. Disconnect the vehicle battery. Disassemble
the existing turn signals and disconnect the connecting cables.
Remove the original handlebar ends if present, so that the
hollow handlebars can be accessed on the right and left.
Handlebars that are encapsulated or impeded by thread inserts
are unsuitable for these turn signals. Use brake cleaner to
remove any dirt and grease residues from inside the handlebar.
For the cable feed-through, drill a 4 mm hole on one side of
the vehicle handlebar. This hole should be on the underside of
the handlebar in the area of the switch fitting. To do this, loosen
the screw connection of the fitting beforehand and remove the
lower section. Alternatively, it is possible to position the hole
directly beside the handlebar clamp (in the middle).
Note: Do not place the drill hole exactly in the middle between
the clamping brackets. Mark the position for drilling with a
centre punch. Work very carefully so that the drill doesn't
slip and damage any vehicle parts. If necessary, cover the
surrounding area to protect it. The drill hole should be carefully
deburred and smoothed using a small file. To clamp the
turn signal in the handlebar end, select the rubber bushing
from those included that best fits the inner diameter of your
handlebar. Rubber grommets with diameters of 12, 14 and 18
mm are supplied.
