08 Ninja EX500r Front Turn signal wiring

Hey everyone,
I was given an 08 ninja 500r recently without turn signals at the front. I bought some replacements, but when I go to plug them in, there’s just a socket with no plug. In my research I think they’re supposed to be a harness that goes into the socket for the bullet connectors? But I can’t find it anywhere online. Any ideas thoughts or help or alternate methods would be awesome.

The eBay listing is from a long time ago. The only image I can find of it.

Frame sagged slightly during frame slider install

Posting this here because someone probably knows better than I do. I had an issue during the install of my shogun sliders. The right side slider went on perfectly fine, but the supplied left side engine bolt won’t fit due to some misalignment that occurred (sucks cause I figured one side at a time would’ve been enough lol). I’ve got it on rear stands at the moment, but the engine itself is higher than the frame in terms of lining up the holes. Anyone have any idea how I could get the engine to come down and to the left a bit or move the left side frame up slightly?

Clutch assist spring?

I want to start by thanking anyone who gave me advice/confidence with my last post about the "paddock" lifts in my other post. Today's project is the Spears Enterprise clutch assist spring. My question is how do you get the cable fully off the clutch arm to be able to remove the rubber cover? I tried loosening the right nut all the way to get more slack to slip the cable off but it wasn't enough. I was able to "thread" the spring on and it does feel like there's a bit of extra return pressure and was able to adjust it so it start pulling the clutch arm as I start squeezing the lever. But I would like to have the spring actually press against the clutch arm vs the rubber cover. I know the easiest and quickest solution is to just cut the rubber but would like to avoid that if necessary.

I'll be trailering a bike soon and need to know how accessible the front triple tree is on these fully faired bikes. Most videos that have these tutorials use naked bikes where the triple tree is easily accessible. Just wondering if it's like that for the ninja bikes too. Gonna be using the regular motorcycle trailer from uhaul. Someone also recommended canyon dancers
