clear turn signal lenses
I recently saw a /5 with clear turn signal lenses. I'm trying to make my bike look old (so we're a matched pair) My inept internet searches have proved fruitless; has anyone here a solution, or the name of a vendor?

You can get amber bulbs, so no legality problems. you have to be old enough to remember when ALL vehicles had clear turn signals. I think amber became the rule in the early '60s

Nowadays, clear lenses seem to be the "new" look on late model bikes. Not long ago, I saw a set of blue airhead lenses on eBay. Thought about bidding but then considered that they are probably not legal for bikes, at least in my state.

Yeah, fastest, most assured ticket situation possible. Cops hate blue lights on non-cop cars.

I'm still with Kurt in S.A. though, how will this make your bike look old? I think almost everyone now associates clear turn signal lenses with the most modern bikes.
