Thunderbird Storm indicator lenses

[zimtuff]

Anyone know if the clear indicator lenses from a Storm will fit a Rocket?
Or does anyone know of a supplier for any other style of lens that will fit the standard R3 indicator stem?

I did a search but I could not see anything conclusive about what will fit.

My riding buddy has a storm, I will try and swap one over when he gets back from his holiday next week.

I do not think they will as the mounting screws in the rocket ar not present in the Thunder birds that I have seen.

After looking at some pics I doubt they will fit either. The R3 lenses bulge out to accomadate the bulb and I think the Storm lenses are flat.

Yes ,I found them some time back,but I would really like a flatter lens.

Zim the only solutions I know are two guys - One on the Swedish R3 forum - the other on the German Forum. iirc the German guy was going to make some more over winter. He was also going to offer smoked.

I sent the swedish guy an email but never heard back.I might just get the same shape in the clear lens from newbonneville. Its just that they look so 1950s space race like.

Changing the rear set out for something different and made in metal is a piece of cake - It's mounting the front pair that's more of a bugger - though hardly world shattering.

yep the tbird ones r too big i sussed them out when i wanted to get rid of the horrible orange cones.
I ended up mounting Kurayakyn small halogen silver bullets front and rear

Tomcat on the .net sight knows a guy here in Australia that can make them
