Hey Guys,
So a few weeks ago a buddy of mine put my 05 America in to the asphalt. Luckily only minor damage to the Trump and no serious damage to my buddy. I just noted the headlight glass is cracked.
Anyone know of a cheaper than OEM replacement for the Headlamp glass?
On bike bandit the glass comes with the reflector and runs $215. Seems steep for a piece of round glass.

Thanks =)

Hit up Wallyworld and pick up one of these Sylvania #6024 7"
Less that $20.00, replace the complete headlight not just the lenses. Of course you'll no longer have the little parking light feature in the headlight. You aint using that right?

Had one for years, better than the original in my opinion.

Like posted above. Most any replacement headlamp from the auto parts store of choice will do, minus the little parking light. If that's an issue, I do have my original headlamp on a shelf. I would be willing to part with if it was needed.


09 America, some modifications

come to think of it, it isnt even the original headlamp, Lonzo replaced it with an H4 before we traded bikes.
Thanks for the info! I'll hit walmart or O'Reilly's tomorrow. =)
