Does anyone know if i can buy tinted/smoked indicator lenses for my gts, if so, where? Tried MSC, Smalley Cross, no joy, have i got to buy the spray and ruin them myself?!!!!

I did mine on Monday and they look crap, don't bother. The spray just goes into air bubbles and runs really easily. Ended up cleaning it off as best I could. Nobody is making them because you have to buy the complete indicator unit which makes them too expensive.

it's really surprising there isn't more aftermarket stuff available for the GTs etc, i mean look at the amount of stuff company's do for the PX etc, i know the PX has been out forever but the GTs has been out long enough now....
be good to be able to buy a different seat or lenses......

You're not wrong, the GT / GTS has been around for what 6 or so years now, and judging by the increasing numbers on rallies is popular enough for someone to bother making different seats, lenses etc and not just the usual mod tat thats currently about...

I'm surprised the likes of ScootRS in Vietnam hasn't started doing them.
I did notice the other day that they are doing a couple of odds n sods for Vespa autos now though.
So probably just a mater of time......

i remember reading in a bike mag - a couple of years ago -about a dye or colourant that you mixed in warm water and dipped the glass / lenses into and they came out " smoked".
can anyone remember this product or has anyone tried it ? might work ?

I must just be crap! Was at VE today, asked them about them, they've been trying to get them made but can only buy them 1000 sets at a time.
