anyone know where I can pick up clear tail light lens for my standard?
also, if I go with smoked lens and buy colored bulbs (incandescent) will they be too dim??? Thanks

You can find them on eBay. 

And.....yes.  Smoked lenses really darken the bulb.  Not something you'd normally want to do on motorcycle. 

A buddy at work put smoked lenses on everything on his Fat Boy/Bob...whatever.....he thinks it's cool.  Riding behind him, you can barely see his tail and turns.   
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

With smoked lenses, you will an LED array.
I have a smoked taillight lens and the arrays and I can be easily seen,...unless the driver behind me has his eyes closed.

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY!

I think I got  my clear lens at JC Whitney.  I use the Radiantz 128 led array behind the lens and it is very bright.

I had a clear lens on mine with led lights and didnt like it so I put the stock red one back on and I swear it is 10 times brighter than the clear. I have heard to run the same color light bulb as the lens for the best brightness. Maybe you should put a clear bulb in with a clear lens  ;D

Smoked (blacked out) lens are illegal in all 50 states. Fed DOT regulations set this standard for all USA.

I went with clear lenses and some Radiantz LEDs. Super bright. As for the lenses, got them off Ebay long time back.
