Hey all,
I have been wanting to get a set of clear front lenses for the Sprint since the day I got it. It always seemed odd that the factory rear indicators are clear, but the fronts are a crappy dull orange.
I had baulked at the price of the only set offered on eBay since I got the bike - over $100AUD delivered via a UK seller (though I note this has reduced slightly now).
Recently, sets came up on eBay for $25 delivered, direct from China. I've been ripped off before on clear lenses from China - the ones I bought for my F100 were 1:1.05 scale and didn't fit any of the gaps in the panels, plus were just shoddily made. Clearly a dodgy mould.
The ebay ad didn't inspire me with confidence either, with a strange year combination listed - 05-07.
Anyway, I threw caution to the wind and ordered a set of the Chinese indicators last week. They arrived today and I must say I'm amazed at the quality - as good as, or better than factory. The plastic is shiny and clear, the reflective backing is high quality and they fit well.
I also reckon they look fantastic - certainly way better than the crappy dull orange factory ones. Despite having an orange lens, my factory signals were fitted with coloured bulbs as well, so I didn't even have to change those to go to a clear setup.
So there you go - If you've been considering a set of these, order them immediately! They come in clear or smoke. The ones I ordered are clear.
