Turn Signal Visor Question

[RonW]

Has anybody used these turn signal Visors? Highway Hawk I believe. Do they fit like they should? They're about $20 a pair without shipping. I'm expecting some Xmas money from the union I'm a member of. Other than that, I'm outta ink to print new money, and can't afford anymore unnecessary souvenirs. Thanks in advance.

I have a '07 Tourer that has the two (2) screw type lens and I've had lens hoods that look like those for about 10 years and no problems.  However, I did use a little glue around the edges of the lens to insure that the hoods stayed in place. Another Valk rider friend has hoods that have "eyes" so that the lens screws keep them in place.

thanks, Earl. Hope that incident with your bike is being taken care off.

Haven't rec'd payment from the insurance company yet, but I think there won't be a problem.  I'm ready to get the work done as soon as the check arrives.  Am also awaiting the arrival of my replacement rear fender section.  Had any experience with Markel American Insurnace co.?  That is my company.

[RonW]

never heard of them. Best wishes just the same.

97 to like 1999/2000 all have a 2 screw lense, the later years have a single screw.

So check to see what ya have and go from there.

RONW... If you use those on your 2000-2003 model with the single screw on the bottom, then you are going to have to use two-sided tape....what are you going to do once you take the screw out, and then have to squeeze the lens a little bit to clear the tab of the lens to the housing?  you will end up popping the tab on the lens it looks like to me.

[RonW]

yes, 2000 has a single screw at the bottom. But judging by the pics the visor doesn't overlap the chrome shell. It stops at edge of the flat ring on the amber lens cap. The part of the lens cap that has the barb and the tab sits on a lip that telescopes into the chrome shell so I figuring there'll be enough wiggle room. Anyways, it might all be academic. One website wanted $28 for shipping, and another stated we'll let you know on the shipping cost 'after I submit a payment.' So, I'm gonna contact them directly tomorrow when they're open. (grinches)  Btw, not too many websites sells the visor for Valks or Hondas, but they all use the same generic pics and it's misleading if you don't read the fine print.

Those look like the a set of Jardine turn signal visors I had on my VTX, and my 02 VTX had the single screw on the bottom.  They fit fine, but I lost one  and had to order them in pairs....  I used the super glue trick (a few dab will do ya) around ring/lens to help the 2 sided tape a bit and all was well after that.

I have a different, but similar product on my 99 Valk I/S, which also has single screw on the bottom vice the two screws thru the lens.  Made sure I put a few dabs of super glue (jel) on those as well.
