smoked signal lens

[Guest bshpilot]

had to laugh today...stopped by my local chrome

dealer (aka harley shop)

 

i was impressed to have to turn loose of only $9.50 (USD)

for FOUR smoked signal lens'/covers

 

what made me laugh was the package...labeled BUELL

said "made in italy" right on the part bag

[Guest northend]

Yup, Same manufacturer that makes Guzzi's lenses makes them for the Buell's

[al_roethlisberger]

....and they look particularly good with the Champagne bodywork methinks

[Guest bshpilot]

did yall use ORANGE bulbs or these Incandescent "CHROME" bulbs

(scroll down about 2/3 of the page to see 'em HERE )

[GuzzTim]

they're also used on the two wheeled snowmobiles .... aka Victory... so if you're ever in some wierd corner of the planet where there's a Victory dealership and no Buell dealership....

 

[Guest northend]

No. I used the yellow inserts that you can buy that install with the smoke lenses and used the stock bulbs........Worked out great

Total cost for smoke lenses and yellow insert covers was under 20.00 bucks

 

And they REALLY look nice on a Black/Gray Le Mans

Had a mishap with my Scura taday and need to replace a couple of the stock turn signal lenses. I want to replace all four with the Buell lens. Does any body have a part # for the lenses?

 

My nearest Buel Dealer is about an 1 hour away so I want to call first.

 

Also, do you have to change the buld to Yellow?

 

Yjanks,

i can give you the p/n for the smoked cover (apparently there is

an amber insert too...which i didnt buy...)

 

if you get the amber insert then you dont need to

change to an amber bulb.

 

unfortunately i can only get you part of the way

BUT the dealer should be able to tell you or match

up the amber insert w/ this...

 

take one of your GOOD signals w/ you and a small

philips screw driver and test fit one @ the buell dealer

[edge]

Buell Light Parts & cost:

 

Y0040.K Inner Turn Signal $1.95 US

Y0039.K Outer Turn Signal $2.20 US

 

or If you need to change out your complete signal, the buell one has the rubber middle and looks the same as a MG and includes the lenses your looking for

 

Y0527.K Turn Signal Right Rear (or left front on a MG) $5.60 US

Y0526.K Turn Signal Left Rear (or right front on a MG) $5.60 US.

 

So.. If he doesnt have 4 each of the lenses alone, check for the signal assembleys they include the two lenses. I do not have the #s for the fronts, they are a little longer but have the lenses your looking for too.

I am running 4 of the "Buel" turn signals on the LeMansIV.

I had the pleasure of donating $15 for a SINGLE CAN of 'wrinkle paint' spray paint at my local Harley Dealer this am...gonna do a little touch up on my engine...if I ever see her again

update....

 

ive recv'd the bulbs...i CAN NOT recommend the CHROME

bulbs...they simply are not very bright at all.

 

Ive decided to use the amber bulbs behind the buell

smoked lens (im not using the buell amber insert)

 

i can post some pictures (of both bulbs/setups) if you like....

yeah but look @ it this way....the amber bulbs are 10 CENTS each (mail order),

the chrome bulbs were 11 bucks per pair (mail order)....i saw the same

chrome bulbs in pep-boys (auto parts store) this past weekend....24 bucks

per PAIR !

 

in my younger days i would have said to hell w/ the safety.....
