Yes, it's just a scew, but it's going to be a bit of work to re-attach it. The good news is that you probably did not lose the screw - it's probably loose inside the rear brake assembly housing.

The bad news is that you're going to need to remove that rear brake assembly housing in order to get to it. To remove that, you need to remove three screws that are under the read mudguard.

While it is possible to remove those screws with the rear wheel on, I strongly do not recommend it. I did it once just to see if if it could be done and will not try it again.

Vink I'd recomend you use some thread lock on those if they are vibrating loose. NOT the RED stuff but the blue medium grip.

My left turn signal broke the same way twice. The first time I took it to my dealer and it cost me somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 to fix it. The second time I looked for aftermarket turn signals and I found Brogue Motorcycles had just what I was looking for. They are compact, and bright. They don’t stick out like the OEM lights.

I’m not gonna lie, it was a lot of work to do it myself but I learned a lot about my bike and I’m glad I did it that way. Also, for the size of these I thought the were stupid expensive. If I remember correctly, they were about $185 for the back and the same for the front. But I just sucked it up and bought them. After all it was just a little more than what I paid for a repair at the dealer. So for under $400 I have 4 new turn signals and I’m really happy with the result. If I were to do it again, I probably would’ve had my fender repainted while I had it taken apart. The broken light was bouncing off my tire and scratched the **** out of it.
