On a recent trip my the little green lens that covers the neutral light decided to go missing. Anybody else run into this? Any ideas of where to get a new one?

I've had it happen several times. Order from a dealer or cut out a piece of green plastic and glue to the chrome portion.

This has happened to me with different light covers - the glue dries out and the cover falls off. The dealer will have replacements for around $12 - it's the plastic colored cap and a grommet that you push into the instrument panel.

I bought a 7-up plastic bottle. Cut out the little curved foot on the bottom and glued it into the grommet. Its still there 5 years later. The red one was harder to find but did the same for it. There is just something about spending 12 bucks for something like that.

I think Triumph designed it to fail.....they love getting that 12 bucks you hesitate to spend.
