So I might have made a small mistake. I bought a TCME taillight on eBay this weekend for DIRT CHEAP. Now I noticed in the pictures that the lense is melted a little on the bottom but I'm not too worried about that. I'm hoping to heat it up a little and try to move it back into shape. I looked over the pictures again today (after getting the "its been shipped" email) and I think the lense is cracked. I'm hoping the lense isn't too far gone because I'm going to try and recast/mold it and possiblly make custom replacements. Once I get it in, I'll post tons of pictures and updates on progress.

I've had the bad lens problem on a box taillight before. What I did was find a car taillight lens that was flat and big enough to cut the size I needed out of the center, then cut, and sand it to shape, and drill it carefully. Worked for me 'til I sold that bike.Comment

So I was hoping to have fixed and cast at least one new lense by now but I've slacked off hars core. I did however make a lense out of 1/8" plexiglass. I'll post pics in a few. Turned out OK but not perfect.Comment

Relative has a 3D printer. Wonder if there's any media available for those things that is suitable for lens making?

If you can find someone with a scanner you can import the image into CAD then mod it as you like.Last edited by farmall; 12-21-2021, 11:16 AM.Comment
