I recently took a rock to my headlight taking out my lens.I seem to remember talk in past posts about an over the counter sealed beam replacement.The cost for a lens is around $92.00......any help?

A Sylvania #6024 7" sealed beam headlight fits the bike for a LOT less than a new unit from Triumph.

I took a rock to the lip last year. I think I'm more thankful rocks hit me instead of the bike. I have the power to heal myself. My bike requires green papers with numbers on them to heal. Good luck with that lens... sounds like a good sized rock.

IT's much brighter too. I've been running the sealed beam for several years with no issue. I have the lens if you want to go stock.

I have a stock lens as well if you want to stay stock. I went with the Hella lens and replaceable bulb.
