[Mount hope ed]

Help! I broke the pictured tail lens on my 83 gl1200 California customs sidecar. Anyone know where to find one. Thank you!

Or do they just offer trike kits now?

Just trikes no sidecar parts

Not knowing the actual size of that lens - but it looks similar to a CB750 lens of many years ago - as in mid 70's style.

From what is left of the existing one - I would see if it has any manufacturer names around its circumference or part number etc.

If you are lucky you might find a replacement easily if it is a common sourced one..

Hey ed, try this guy in Florida http://www.floridasidecarproducts.com/
He has a lot of stuff for the CSC models and many others. Really nice guy to deal with.
If you don't see what you need give him a call he does not have everything on his site listed.
He also sells a nice manual for the CSC moddels.
PS
I just checked his web site and he has a lot of those round tail lites.
At the top of the page click on "California sidecar parts" and scroll down a bit.

Yeah, if you try to get sidecar information out of them they do everything they can to disavow that they ever had anything to do with sidecars...

Thanks all. Found lens , it’s not as rare as I thought. (Honda CBs) Also thanks for the link to Florida , was able to find out the year and model of my hack in about 5 minutes. And I now have a great source for parts. Just bought the set-up attached to a non running 83 aspy. Got it going and it’s been a blast to ride.If all goes well i will be taking apart and freshening up mechanics and painting whole package. Thanks again

Nice one,

If they are CB lenses - then not as rare to find one - by an extra one - just in case - you should be set then for a while.

yup you got that right. I have a CSC friendship 3 , I blew the shock and when i called to see about a replacement they pretty much blew me off saying they haven't had anything to do with side cars since 2010 and he had no Idea what I was talking about. I asked him then why do they still have the name California Side Cars and why then are they in Virginia ...... he hung up !
