Clear rear lens
Anyone point me in the direction of where to buy one? Can't find any on Fleecebay! Prefer the clear lens and red bulbs rather than red lens or even led's

Re: Clear rear lens

Re: Clear rear lens
Watty, I struggled to find a clear lens rear light with bulbs so made my own. Bought the cheapest LED one I could find and a second hand red lens stock version. Heated them up and seperated the lens and fitted the clear one on what was the stock housing. Anchored with clear mastic it works a treat.

Kev, nice job
Where did you get your red bulbs from, and have you got the number plate lit, as I think that is needed for the mot?

I do chuckle when you see the latest gixxer with an r&g plate light angled so it's blinding the car behind that's illegal

Re: Clear rear lens
That's interesting guy's, thanks for the heads-up on that
So it's just the red bulbs I need to know about now

Re: Clear rear lens
I bought the silvered bulbs which show red when illuminated but to be honest they were pink at best and following Lloydie whining like a little girl after the Monopoly run
, I bought some red coloured bulbs which are a lot more distinct. Purchased from E Bay (of course!)

Re: Clear rear lens
To be honest they barely made pink! They were going to be an obvious pull at some time, so the red lens bulbs went in soon after the run.
By the way Chris your little dancing VTR has gone AWOL again fella.

It's strange how the dancing VTR's keep disappearing and reappearing
