Washing the Bonnie today for my first ride f the season. I was going over the tail light wih a soapy rag and SNAP the break light broke right off! ***!!! SUper Glued it back together but has anybody else had this issue with the plasticky bits?

Never had a problem myself but I'd advise you to ask the dealer, maybe it was defective and the warranty will cover it.

Wow, you must have really given it a good seeing to! I have just had a look at mine and it is pretty well attached. I agree, maybe it's a warranty claim.

Sounds like a good excuse to replace it with a Lucas style tail light!.............let the Mods begin!!!! :-D

I bought mine used and it was cracked when I bought it from the seller strapping a pack to the sissy bar and resting the pack on top of it. I used JB Weld on the inside and seems to be good as new and not noticeable. I had no warranty though.

My buddy laid his jacket on the bach of the Bonne after a ride & pop the tailight lense broke off. He superglued it back but will play hell when the bulb buerns out? A rweally cheaply made part to a great bike!!

They are VERY fragile..... likely because of a small narrow base and a HUGE pod that usually hits (and breaks) easily in a get off.

That is to say, they break easily and often.

I replaced mine straight away with a Lucas. Was quite surprised at how little material there is in the stock housing.

This is a good time to trade out.

I will sell you my stock light setup if you want to stay stock, it has 1000 miles on it. I need to clean out the garage of all this stuff.
