I see all these threads about changing the whole signal. I was looking at mine yesterday and it appears you can just take the lens off. If that's the case, I would rather replace the lens and not the whole thing. It looks like there is already an orange/yellow piece in there, so it would just be removing the smoked lens and replacing it with a clear one, right?

I haven't been able to find just the lens though, so does it exsist and is it possible to just remove and replace?

Haven't seen a clear inner lens yet buy I took mine out and put in amber bulbs. Turn signal looks grey until flashing.

I am not looking for an inner lens though, I am looking for a clear outer lens. I want it to be amber, I just want the smoked lens replaced so that it's brighter. It's almost rediculous that they put a smoked lens on these things because it makes them so dim.

I just haven't been able to find the outer lens.

Low an behold....




I am not sure if one of the sponsors has this available... but I frequently browse this site and I knew it was on there... check with sponsors first then if not follow through with this company. I have not done any business with them so I cannot backup their service, best of luck!


They have some nice looking products http://www.bitz4buells.co.uk/

check with a victory motorcycles dealer. on there older models they used the same directionals. i don't know if they had clear lenses or smoked. but it might be worth looking into.

Shea, take out the amber inner lens and peanut bulbs. Install amber 1156 bulbs or even brighter plain 1156 bulbs, then reinstall the smoked outer lens. Much brighter. My neighbors, Ray Charles and Helen Keller (just kidding, most of the neighbors have about the same vision though) said they were.

Hey Shea
My Blast has clear outer lenses. They are the same ones on my xbs, but not smoked. I switched them last weekend for the hell of it. The numbers on both the clear and smoked are the same.
Hope this helps
