Anyone change the Vaquero lenes for clear or smoke?

[Old Bear]

I want to change out the front turn signals to a running light/blinker combo, but the lens has to be either clear or smoke. I took the lens off and discovered that it isn't just a lens, it is an assembly. I'm not sure if the lens is glued on or just snapped on to the rest of the assembly. I didn't want to risk breaking it to find out!

Any of you tackled this yet?

Looks like the lens just pops out.;

The Vaquero is different than the Nomad. You can see from this (http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2012-kawasaki-vulcan-1700-vaquero-vn1700jcfa/o/m154201#sch733044) parts breakout, the lens is actually an assembly. This doesn't show the lens itself as a separate item.

I have took them apart,they are glued,but cleans up easy.I am trying to find red lens for my Vaquero

[Old Bear]

Thanks for that! I've got a real heat gun, that should make it pretty easy to take apart then.

Old Bear - I am looking for smoke lenses too. Have you had any luck?

I saw a Euro company (Germany I think) that made clear and smoked lenses for these . . . Still looking for red ones . . . I will look for that link . . .

I think I found it:

A guy here in town used a red tail light spray paint, and painted over the stock amber plastic. It seems to have worked well.

Be careful when ordering, the Vaquero lenses are different from the Voyager, the Vaquero is a smaller lens. just don't want you wasting time and money if it wont fit. We all do that enough trying to outfit these bikes.

Hopefully, I'll attempt to install the Custom Dynamics lights and lenses this weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out!

[napom]

Definately let us know - I am looking at doing that as well . . .

Sorry for bringing up an old forum. But I was curious if you got this to work.
