    Default Where to get a license plate light lens only ?

    I have been to lots of sites looking for a lens only and can't find one. Does anyone know where to get one? It doesn't have to be OEM . Just hard to put out another $60 for the whole thing. This one broke on the first ride because of strong wind. Thanks for any help.

    I remember folks looking for those and brake/ tail light lens for the GS/RS models and they couldn't get them ...... I would opt for an after market type .... check E-bay etc. ..... good luck .... Mike

    Shop around Amazon, Walmart & automotive stores for a clear reflector that is large enough to cut out the size you need. You may have start with something from a bicycle 1st picture) or a large oval like the second picture but clear. OR even use the lens from a night light (third picture) like I did in making covers for red LED brake lights on one of my bikes. All of those options are less than $10 but require a little work with a coping saw or small band saw if you have access to one.

    There is a group of F3 owners, size apparently unknown, who are victims of BRP's refusal to provide a separate part number and price for the license plate light lens alone.
    Artillery lends dignity to what would
    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Or.... BRP won't sell that part alone. Remember the windshield ARM , they finely did but it took about 8 years for them to sell it separately ... of course it was still the same piece of JUNK as the original, but it save folks about $ 650.00 ..... Mike

    Here is what I did when I could not find a lens for mine, went to Pep Boys and got this one for $6.00
    it is the entire light, you will have to take yours off and toss it and put this one in it's place.

    AH. After seeing the last couple of posts I realized you were not talking about just the clear lens that illuminates the license plate. Since I do not own a Spyder with that style of rear lighting, it was an easy mistake to make without pictures. SO--nevermind.
