My rear turn signal cover and stem keeps popping out. The plastic cover comes off on the side opposite of the screw and the press on fit from the turn signal stem to the base keeps sliding off...seems very cheaply made for what is supposed to be a top of the line bike. anyone else have this problem???? i went on a very spirted ride with 6 other guys this morning (lots of full throttle roll ons from the dig to 120mph -still pulling in 4th what is the top speed??..and back country road twistys) They popped out several times, do I need to get replacements from the dealer to fix or just break out the crazy glue???
thanks in advance..

I've never heard of that. I would say take it back to the dealer and have them fix it.

Remove lense
Remove reflector
Push black body into place
Install reflector so the blade thing on the insde locks the pieces together
Install lens.
By law the turn sigs have to be brake away if they protrude a certain distance from the centerline. Once you figure out how it goes together....It makes more sense. Yours was prolly knocked off by the delivery driver that didn't want you to inspect the bike. Hopefully the blades on the reflector were not broken off by that knuckle head

Kevin,
I followed your steps and it appears that the former owner had used a dab of silicone to keep the lens in place. i cleaned out the old silicone and used a bit more to secure the lens, one of the tabs was cracked.
The turn signals both front and rear had been changed from the yellow factory lens to a clear white lens. my guess is the fit from the after market company isnt up to the same as victory oem parts.
thanks for your help- good as new.

So your saying that out of the four lenses, only one has a cracked tab?
PM me your addy and I will send you a free replacement lens.
Have had those lenses on my Jackpot for almost 3 years with no problems.

Barry you have to remember something when criticizing the bike/Victory. You bought it USED that means just as with this problem any problem you have could be previous owner related. So instead of criticizing Victory and the cheapness of the bike for the price point. Wait until you know for sure its not due to the previous owner.
