Hey guys. Got a dilemma. My dad just dropped my bike on the grass, breaking the front signal cover. The Signal still works fine, just the smoked/clearish lens is now broke. Only problem is, I have an inspection tomorrow. I ordered a signal off of ebay already but its got a while to come. Does anyone know if the rear signall is the same as the front?Do you guys think it will pass? Should I find a replacment somewhere like Walmart? Maybe off my Tomos moped? I can't wait to drive legally any longer so I gotta get this inspection asap.

Fronts and rears are the same on an XB-R. The fronts on an XB-S have an extra spacer in the stalk.

Technically, you shoudln't pass with a broken lense, at least in NY.

They look to be the same, but you'll have to splice on your old connectors - they've been cut off on those ones.

There are connectors inside the housing too.
You won't even need to remove the stalks.
Just remove the #1 philips screw at the end and pop it apart.
It takes a bit of finesse.

Super Glue the lens together, works for me on my bike trailer!

Alright, thanks for the answers guys! My dads good with electronics stuff I guess he could splice it on. Husky, I doubt the inspector would like the fact that it was glued together, and I threw the cracked peices away anyways. Maryland won't let you get away with ANYTHING. If I wasn't born and raised in this state, and didn't like crabs and baltimore so much, I'd probably hate it here.
