Help needed removing plate holder/ rear mudguard CBF125

[Palm_95]

Hi all.

After my mate and I had a minor accident a month ago, the rear mudguard/license plate holder has cracked on my Honda CBF 125. My mate was kind enough to pay for a replacement part, but now I'm stuck trying to even get the old one come off.

The part looks like this:

So far, I have removed the plate, the indicaters (except for the wires, which I cannot seem to figure out where goes).

I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the actual part itself. Any advice?


Cheers,
Palm

I've never worked on a CBF125 before, so hopefully someone with mode knowledge can help, but try taking the seat off, and working back from there.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I spent literally all day trying to figure this out. I tried taking the rear panels off, as well as both seats, indicators, and the rear handle. Still, I got stuck on removing the rear fairing, as I could not get the rear light off at all. I saw some videos on YouTube, that described the removal of the light, but mine was completely stuck.

I have included four photos, that shows the rear-side of the bike, and what it looks like under the seats:

Have you looked up and under the back wheel arch? IIRC there should be a couple of bolts underneath. I would check my Haynes manual but can't find it at the moment

Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else grabbing from the manual

Park it outside overnight, bolts will rust into nothing by the morning & the part will fall off

Will try and find an EPC photo suitable for purpose

Hi all, thank you for your replies.

I'll have a mate over on Thursday, who's got a bit more knowledge in the area, than I've got. We'll have a look through this, and try following the guide.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,

Will do when I get back home tonight

Can try and figure out where I 'acquired' the manual from if you want?
