Winker Lenses Wanted - FOUND

I just picked up 4 CB72/77 winkers from Japan. They're not in bad shape, but the lenses could use replacement as they have small cracks. Does anyone have a lead on where I might find them? They're not listed on CMS as I think they were primarily made for the asian market. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I think they are similar to some early C100 indicators for Germany etc. I have some similar ones on a Dream and have been able to pick up the lenses here and there on eBay.

Also .... CB450K winkers have taller lenses but may be the same fitting. I have some in a box here and could check.

Thanks G. The C100 lenses do look similar and are available on eBay. If you could find the time, would you measure one?

Here you are. I think the C100 lenses are smaller. They fit my "German" Dream winkers but I don't think they will fit the CB72 version.

Thank you for taking the time to do that. I'm beginning to think that these aren't Honda winkers at all.

They were definitely used on Japanese CB72s

Thanks for that link - what a beautiful bike. I'm going to use the winkers. I've already mounted them on the headlight and should be receiving the back brackets in today's mail. I'll also keep looking for the lenses, but I don't hold much hope of finding them.
