So, I am hard at work switching out both footpegs and all 4 turn signals on my new 2019 GT. The Yamaha Europe LED ones went on smoothly enough for the rear. The front ones are some extra work because they are mounted to "panel" on the front of the fairing.

I was able to pry the two panels apart after removing some other screws, of course these fasteners went flying everywhere.

No Threads on the posts etc.
Has anyone else switched out the front turn signals on a US 2019 GT yet? I am interested to hear your thoughts.
