I'm finally getting around to replacing my broken grab bar, problem is, I can't get the Damned thing off. It's being held on by the wires going to the rear turn signals, I can't figure out how to disconnect them. Please no flame, even if I probably deserve it.  It's a 78' CB750A.

On my '76, the disconnect point from the harness is under the seat/on top of the fender.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

 Once you disconnect the wires, whose ends will be hiding inside a black rubber cover, under the seat with a mess of other wires, they should follow the bar right out.
