Re: clear turn signal lenses

I saw these lenses on a bike I was trying to buy, not something I saw passing. Coupled with alloy turn signal housings, it/they brought a "period" look.

Re: clear turn signal lenses

Since you only have 1 disc, you need a bleeder screw to plug the un used outlet, (very s...

Motobins lists "pattern" (aftermarket copies) side covers for 25 pounds sterling each. (Don't know the US dollar conversion but it is listed on their web site) I find their shipping to Canada is prompt and reliable.

saddlebag keys

I recently picked some used bags, but the PO had lost the keys. The missing key locks have the numbers 066, and 067 on the locks. Aany suggestions where I can find a set (or 2?)
