Simon2001 out of Osaka, Nippon. But wait before hitting them up, I've been in touch with Erich, andhe's exploring the option of selling the Simon2001 line here off the site at Provo, and you'd save big time on the shipping. It's cheaper to ship from Utah than Osaka!

The problem there is though, the lenses I have will not fir the North American scooters. The stock blinkers we have on the Vino in the US does not exist in Japan, same as the tail lights.

My brake light and signals are OEM Yamaha parts straight from Japan. These are the exact lights that are sold in Japan and are equipped on the Vino that is sold in Japan. In other words if you want my hookup you're going to have to pay for it, and get them in Japan

The lights that Provo sells are not OEM but are OEM styled to fit the Vino. The Simon2001 clear lenses won't fit the lights Provo sells or so James B told me when Provo started to carry the Jpn style lights last year.

Blinkers: $110
Brake light: $70
Clear lens signals: $25
Clear lens brake: $15
Plus shipping: $20
Total: roughly $250

Now, I'm just recalling this off the top of my head, and including converting yen to dollars. This was not a cheap mod by far. My thoguhts are that it would be cheaper to see Provo carry custom lens clear covers to fit what they carry, as it would be cheaper, but I'm not sure what Erich is up to. He's good at pulling rabbits out of his hat and wowwing us all.

Ruh Roh Raggy !

My OEM Jap Style blinkers from Provo should be here in a day or two . . I also ordered the white lenses from Simon.2001 - it seems this may put me in a bind ?

You can try them, but I recall James B said that the Provo lights are slightly bigger. At the very least the lenses won't set you back all that much if they do not.
