Does anybody know of a cheap alternative fix for these little lenses? I have had the bike less than a year and this is the second lens that has disappeared. From reading it looks like it is a common problem.

It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

http://www.oznium.com/led-bolt

This be the page for the LED lamps. I'll hafta look on my account and get the specific one and size, but this will give you an idea. A little Dremel work and solder some wires and it's done. Very bright and nice, with the chrome bezels.

These folks have the most stellar customer service and website I've ever used.

Edit - found it ! Flush Mount LED Bolt With Lens, 11mm, Silver, Red 5.99

Bike Bandit, and your dealer, sell them for less than $10.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
