Small bit of perspex, where from?

[Blue_SV650S]

Got a smashed headlight glass lens on my WR250F (big stone got flicked up and smashed it).

The actual backing/housing/reflector bit is fine. I have taken the remaining glass out and I was thinking of just getting a bit of perspex to make a new lens and attaching it via silicone.

It only needs to be about the size of an open hand, I can see where I can get BIG sheets from, but I only want a little bit.

Any ideas where I can get a little bit from or indeed what has a small bit of perspex in it that I can buy and then chop up.

Finally, this is obviously a headlight (inly 35w mind you) so there will be heat - how is perspex with heat?!?!

Go to a galzing firm they should be able to provide you with a piece the size you want.

Also some DIY shops should cut to size

Heat may be a problem - watch for bubbling/melting in front of the bulb.

Also, perspex picks up scratches and fogging really quickly.

Can you get a local glass place to cut you a bit of glass instead? Then on with the silicone

Just so you know, I got some 6mm stuff from eBay and have now made a new lens and stuck it on.

The basic idea was remove all glass, cut a bit of perspex to the appropriate size, then 'glue' and 'seal' it in place with silicone sealant ...


Which I did, and to give it a bit more security, I wrapped some electrical tape round there too ... and here is the finished product - jobs a good-en!!
