Do some one here a picture of how the springer head light lens and reflector retaining spring are installed. I searched my WL, Knuckle and Panhead factory manuals and no where does it address this issue. Thanks, Bob L

Inspired by this thread, and having an installed Cycleray® whose lens I resorted to even trying to silicone-"glue" in place (didn't work!) I called around (first call, ackshully) and found that you can buy the clips from Old Dude, for $7.50 each. Seemed a little steep for simple spring-wire clips, but hey, they're the right things. I found ya need three, counting the recesses on the back of the lens.
There are three appropriate indents in the back edge of the Cycleray® lens, and found one at the very top, one at 4 o'clock and one at 8 o'clock, snapped in sort of like Chris's photo. The center rectangle of each clip fits behind the lens, holding it in and forming a sub-assembly.
Then, reinstalled in the bucket and against the rubber gasket around the edge of the reflector, the whole headlight goes back together the way it was intended by the Guide® engineers.
I was pretty pleased with the result. For the first time, my Cycleray® lens is centered in the "door" (rim) and doesn't rotate around from vibration. So, thanx, guyz!
It's a repop lens, I'm sure, but it says "Cycleray" across the bottom of it. I could care less what the little molding numbers (that you can't even see, assembled) are.Last edited by Sargehere; 11-11-2010, 10:45 AM.
