Got home from work today, and as i was putting the bike away i noticed, as the alarm armed itself, that my rear indicator lense has come off! and its snapped off as the screw is still there with a bit of plastic. bulb still works and no scratches or anything. I have no idea how it snapped off. Its so annoying.

Unfortunetly indicators seem to get it the most mate. Ive went through quite a few in two years. I remember the standard indicators on my RX50 were stupid big. I removed one by backwards heel kicking it getting off the bike.

You've most probably caught it on a wall or with your foot getting on or off, or someone has maybe brushed past etc. Unfortunetly due to their sticky out nature they are easy targets

Thank god there is plenty to go round eh Wink

Or a stress fracture of the plastic, caused by something like vibrations or bumps in the road Wink

Good opportunity to go for after market one.
Depending on how much they will charge you for a replacement lense.

I kicked mine off my 125 too, its annoying when things like this happen. I've lost bolts holding the main beam lamp onto the frame before, no idea how, I was positive some pikeys were targeting my bike. Shocked

Recently, the bracket holding my end can on has went missing... I know I tightened it up properly, does make you think how easy it would be to pinch one though... Confused

Get some after market LED minis, as said, its as good a time as any to do it.

Thumbs Up
