    Need a source for a taillight lens

    I see Honda still sells the lens but $38.00 seems a little steep for a plastic lens. Does anyone know of any other sources for just the lens that is more reasonable than the Honda prices?

    I've seen them on Ebay, for pretty reasonable as well.

    I checked NEVC and will probably go with them. Since I'm restoring a 70 K0, I've got loads of parts to buy and they probably have everything I need. I prefer to buy NOS but not when they want $38 for a piece of plastic.

    I bought the tailight lens from DRATV

    this one

    TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR CT70K1 ONLY (chrome backed) (95H) + (15F)

    The lens cracked and it fell of first ride. I went down to the local bike shop and got a replacement lens. Again cracked and fell off next ride.

    I know the first time I had the screws a bit tight, but the second time I certainly didn't

    - Is there supposed to be a rubber gasket between the lens and mount to dampen vibration?
    - Are the NOS expensive lens more durable plastic? these ones I had looked pretty cheap

    I put some large washers on the outside of the light and rode in today (looked ugly) and the light now has 5 large cracks throughout

    I bet I wont make it home. The bike is running smooth, not a lot of vibration, and other than usual potholes my riding conditions are normal

    Yes, there is a black rubber gasket between the lens and assy.

    Does anyone know where to find this gasket?

    DRATV and CHP have them for the K0 tail light, but I can't find one for the K1

    any ideas?
