Anyone replaced that rubber gasket that goes around the back of the taillight lens? It’s the one that goes between the lens and the back of the light mount (I assume to keep water out .I replaced my rear bulb and it was shredded.Dont know where to get one or even to bother.

Never had mine off but I imagine an alternate one could be cut from a piece of rubber. Old rubber tube??

Bike Bandit for 15.39 but try your local dealer. Mine seems to be competitive to BB without shipping costs.

It's been awhile since I've had mine off, but it seems like it would be pretty easy to make a replacement if you can find some thin rubber or plastic, maybe aquarium tubing that you cut a strip out of.
Or get some cork gasket material, trace around the lens and cut one out. Beats the he!! out of dealer cost.

Hey! I may have something in my junk box that'll work, let's see if we can coordinate schedules.
