rear light lens without reflector

Post by johnr » Fri Dec 22, 2023 12:01 am

ive a memory of seeing a rear light lens for an 1100 that didnt have the reflector built in to it. i know its an odd request, but does anbody have one or know where i can get one from? im guessing theyre from some non uk market that doesnt need a rear reflector or else has one elsewhere.

They are German Market model as their law requires the reflector to be a certain distance from the rear light.
I have one one on a 650 that you could swap if you want.

I've got 2 German 650's but only 1 has the rear mudguard extender on that holds the rear reflector , so technically is Not legal here as there is No rear reflector...to be fair no ones noticed! But swapping over solves an issue.

CANCEL MY LAST... I removed the lens and put on a UK one and guess what the UK one now has a melted reflector :evil: :shock:
It turns out you can put a UK lens on a German ,an but not a UK on a German as the numberplate light bulb interferes , must be a different bulb?holder ? Need to investigate ..

Best just get a German to bring one to Eurokat eh?
