| Post subject: | Tuber Rear Light Lens: with clear bit for number plate |
When I got my X1 I wanted rid of the original back end (and hence the numberplate light). Having sorted the looks of the back end out I got a rear lens with a clear area (to light the number plate) from somewhere in the US (American Torque?) when I ordered some other stuff. I figured I should do something similar with the S1 but the cost is silly for what it is. Anyway after a little searching the lens is the same as a Ducati Monster (easy to find that one) but also a Derbi Senda 50 scooter (Note some of the monster lenses have no clear portion). I found a scooter spares place called 'racing planet' sells a vicma branded lens (with a clear portion and) for the princely sum of £3.67 (+£4 P+P). http://www.racing-planet.co.uk/light-derbi-malaguti-gilera-p-137615-1.html?backcPathco=21&cPath=738_19136#.VL6XdyusXko Ordered at lunch yesterday, arrived and fitted today. Just thought this might be useful to someone else. |

Is useful. It used to be that I had to cut out a rectangular hole in the bottom of the lens then superglue a clear piece in it's place. |

My MOT tester said it wasn't testable but if it wasn't lit with white light it was illegal... |
