Do you know if the lens is even available as a separate item? It wouldn't surprise me if you had to replace the entire cluster. Good luck!

Please tell us why just the lens needs replacing? Personal preference or defect? Even better if Farkle :)

There are 2 plastic latches at the top that really don't hold much. Thin flat blade screwdriver to pop them up then tip out gauge cluster, top first.

I had the same problem and took it in to the dealer. The warranty covered the replacement.

He's probably not under factory warranty and BEST would cost him $50. I'm actually amazed that the new lens is so cheap. :yikes:

From what I've heard, doesn't the new lense just fog back up over time? I notice it a little on our 14 ST-L.

At first I started to try to take mine apart and only got so far. I decided to take it in and let the pros do it. It is not an easy install.
The design is not good because the water from just washing the spyder by hand drains over the top of the Speedomiter and the seal is not protected at all. I was thinking about adding another bead of silicone to whats there to keep it from happening again.
Thanks for bringing this up again to remind me. Ill do it when I do my Corbin install in a couple of weeks.

Never use a power washer to wash bike. Use a gentle shower. You'd be surprised where high pressure water can get into. When I wash the dash area I use a wash mitt and sprinkle water to rinse.
