Hello FJ owners! I recently purchased a 1990 FJ1200 and love it! Upon doing some research on parts availability I have become aware of how hard it is to find replacement lenses for the front of my motorcycle. I was wondering what others are doing to find these parts and if anyone has come up with a work around if lenses can no longer be found?

Hey Jeff, the '89 FJ shared the same front turn signal lense with your '90.
A popular mod is buying the aftermarket clear lenses from Europe and using a yellow LED bulb.
Check the German eBay under FJ1200 they come up for sale from time to time.
Aviation Fred had a set of these clear turn signal lenses on his '89 FJ and IMO they looked bitchen.

Perhaps Fred will chime in with a link for you, he is the master at finding these goodies.
Lastly, hoped you don't mind, I moved this topic out of the General Discussion category and put it over here in the Parts Wanted section. This will give you better exposure. Perhaps someone has a oem set of yellow lenses for you.....but I really like the look of the clear lenses.
Cheers laddie. Pat
Thanks for your reply Pat! Those clear lenses look great! I would definitely like to find a set for mine. If someone has a link to where they may be found I would sure appreciate it. I will check out eBay again but have yet to find them. I am guessing used will be the most likely route I'll find.

I have found a couple of lenses from two UK sights that claim to be for a couple of years (88-89, 90). I ordered a right and left lens. I definitely am not sure that either will fit a 90 since the pictures did not match what they advertised and 88 & 89 don't look interchangeable. They assured me they would fit. I will see.
In the states the '89/'90 are the same, and '91 to '93 are the same. The 2 generations do not interchange.
I have some NOS.
1 x 1TX-83310-00

For the 1988-1990 3CV turn signal lenses. The part numbers of what is needed is #3 and #8 in the diagram. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1989/FJ1200W/TURNSIGNAL/parts.html (http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1989/FJ1200W/TURNSIGNAL/parts.html)
The above 1TX numbers are for the 1986/1987 models only. They
will not work.
For the clear lenses, contact Ricky Masurat at www.parts4motorcycles.de (http://www.parts4motorcycles.de)

Thanks Fred but I found the link didn't take me there. I received a lens I ordered from the UK and it will not fit. Even though they assured me it would. I did find a couple of old lenses that came with blinker buckets. They were $75 for both units and that is the best I found. Bought them. I still would like to get a pair of those clear lenses.

Here is a pic of the lens I received from the UK that they assured me would fit and does not. I will be happy to sell the new lens for $10 and the price of shipping. I think it is a 91+ lens but I can't be sure. PM me if you want it. I have found another set of turn signal lenses here in the US for my 90 FJ for $30 and I should be good for now.

The picture shows my 1990 lens on top and the new lens I purchased and am selling below it.
