I've been looking for a set of clear turn signal lens for my 97 valk standard...having been unable to find any, I'm thinking perhaps I can somehow make my smoked ones clear. any ideas?
thanks

The '97-'99 models used a two-screw arrangement to hold the lens in place whereas the '00-up versions and all VTX models used a single-screw/tab retainer system.

Which, coincidentally, includes the VTX1800N. It came stock with clear lenses and the newer style signals.

Get thee to eBay and buy yourself a complete set of takeoffs from an -N model or get thee into a microfiche and buy the lenses from one new...and then hunt around for a set of late model Valkyrie turn signals on which to mount the lenses. They're a direct swap for yours.

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
