Anyone got a good source for a 2012 RS license plate lens housing?
Ok so appears mine decided to part-ways with my bike at some point today.... now all I have is the mount with the license bulb and a screw with a little bit of red plastic under the screw head. Gahhhhhh!
Anybody know of a good source for this part used or something? I find the entire assembly on Ebay for like $70 but I only need a new lens frankly. At 20,000 miles I had no idea the dang thing would just break off going down the road... the roads in my neighborhood are really bad, but I take them VERY SLOWLY till I get to good pavement so not sure why the thing decided to fracture and break off it was there earlier in the day then gone when I got back to my yard this evening. :-\
Thanks.

Custom Dynamics used to sell a replacement lens for $20. But they don’t carry the part anymore. After I lost two lenses I put a screw in each side of the lens to hold it to the mount. I haven’t had a problem since.

After loosing 3 in 10 years, I am pulling the whole assembly out, put some reflective tape in its place and install led lights that holds the plate also.

I gave up after the socket also got smashed. As I have a tail trunk, I ran a line off the running lite socket so it would be always on when engine on. Then got one of those trailer lite/plate brackets and bolted it on1abike1.jpg
