Does anyone make smoked lens covers for the signal lights on the Valkyrie? I would like to change mine. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Wow! Thanks for the lightning quick reply/help. That's a good deal. I am only using two if anyone else wants the other two, we can split the cost. I'll ship free. Thanks again for the help. Breeze

Breeze....

I'm not so sure that "smoked" lenses are such a good idea.  One of my co-workers rides a HD Fatboy with smoked out everything but his headlight.  I've riden behind his bike before and his lights are barely visible.  His turns are not at all noticalble and are actually hard to see.

Another thing on those lenses.

Do you have the 2 screw hole or one.

They did change these in about 2001 or so.

You may have to glue them on the light bases.

I can say from past use that the Clear Alternatives smoked lenses with amber bulbs aren't noticeably dimmer than the stock setup. Can't speak for any others.

I checked and they are for 97-00 with 2 screws just like mine. The LED clusters that i am using require the use of stock amber or smoked lenses due to their brightness. That's why I am going smoked besides the fact that I like the look of them.

they will fit 1997-1999 only.  they WILL NOT fit the 2000 model, which DOES NOT have 2 - screws.

I've got the kuryakin smoked lenses on my '03 Standard.  Not apparent loss of luminosity.  I looked for a kuryakin link but it seems that I can't spell after several Jacks.
