UK_in_NY Posted May 17, 2022 #1 Posted May 17, 2022 Ref picture below. These red lens covers on the Drag specialties rear end are now almost 40 years old and a few have cracks etc. Anyone know where new ones can be obtained?
larrydr Posted May 17, 2022 #2 Posted May 17, 2022 Good lighting is great ..I came close to getting rear ended while riding my 83 Venture ..I was told that they could not see my signals and brake light ....I sensed that the conversation was going one way only , so I kept my mouth shut ....I do know that working lights on a bike is important
Snaggletooth Posted May 18, 2022 #3 Posted May 18, 2022 Oh man, Been through this about 12 years ago on my '84 setup. Even back then the shops had nothing to offer as replacement lens. Even online it was difficult to find anything in the size I needed. I had a couple with minor cracks in mine. After a year long search I did find a listing on eBay for a lot group offering of mixed lenses and chrome lens guards. I bought the whole lot. LOL Out of that I got one lens that fit and some NOS guards to fit. I ended up filling the cracks with epoxy and wet sanding and polishing them back to a shiny finish. I did mount some newer lights from aftermarket options to fill in the dark spots and the even replaced the side reflectors with lights on the rear bags and fairing. I did replace EVERY light bulb with LEDs to brighten them up. Hate to say it but you're hunting for chicken lips on these. With these old girls ya just have to get creative most the time. On the bright side... you're still two bullet lights ahead of me. At least you have 3 to a side on yours. I still have to deal with that dark gap between mine. Good luck. You never know what might show up on eBay.
Freebird Posted May 18, 2022 #4 Posted May 18, 2022 I did a Google search and found a lot of them on Ebay that may be correct. I can't tell for sure what size they are but here is a link and it also shows links to a lot more. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234303347563?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28
cimmer Posted May 19, 2022 #5 Posted May 19, 2022 You can also get them from Parts Unlimited. Here is a link to the page that has them listed. https://www.parts-unlimited.com/search;q=DRAG SPECIALTIES marker lense;r=eJyrVkrLzClJLSpWsoqOrQUAJusFKA%3D%3D Not sure if you have a source in the UK or not.. Hope that helps you out. Rick F
