    I know this is a long shot but does any one know where to source the turn signal lens covers for the Vetter fairing built for the Seca?

    I checked w/ Chacal and he doesn't have them (they're not Yamaha OEM, so not a surprise there).

    I checked with Craig Vetter and found out my fairing was made in the Vetter name after he sold the company, so a) it doesn't have the same lenses as his Windjammer fairing and b) he doesn't know anything about the turn signal units used on them.

    I checked a few local auto parts stores for a genaric replacement.

    I, of course, Googled the names and number I found on my remaining good lens with no luck.

    I may be looking at retrofitting a different lamp - perhaps even go with LEDs - but thought I'd ask in case any one has some spares sitting around or knows where to get them. They're rectangular (will get actual measurements tonight) and look very similar to the OEM rear lenses, but don't wrap around - they are just flat rectangles.

    Thank for listening.

    I bet a photo would help a lot.

    In the street rod industry, there's a kit where you take a severely cracked lens, cast a mold, and then pour new plastic in a mold to make a new replacement lens.
    So, if you could copy the shape in Bondo to fit your fairing, you could then make an amber lens. You could even have the "fluting" on the inside.
    Just a thought. . .
