YY250 T guage lenses By steve (Read 534 times)

My Jonway YY250T went to a buddy when I ordered my BMS TBX 260 EFI. The issue we are having is that the TX sun has yellowed the guage lenses/covers so badly that they can't me read. Can anyone out there hook me up with part #/source for this part. He needs to replace all but I think they are the same.

I have yet to see just the lenses for the instrument panel I do not think they sell just the lenses just a whole new instrument panel.

Tnx Alley. He is talking about fabbing them out of Lexan. I am seeing the same yellowing in the back also. My new one will be protected from the sun! The Chinese are much better than the first 2008 I purchased, but there are fit/finish issues yet. Trade-offs..

Off topic but the longevity of Chinese scooters becomes less of an issue for me at 65 than it might be for younger riders. Realisticly, my new BMS TBX 260 EFI will probably out last my ability/willingness to ride.It is something to consider when one is doing the "main stream" vs Chinese equation.

Your so right Steve, I have had my Chino Trike since early 2009 and fixed everything up and modded the way I want it and it is now 2014 going on 2015 5+ years and you can go into my garage and turn the key on 365 days out of the year 24/7 and it fires right up . I let it warm up while I put on my helmet and check all the lights and things before I roll out of the garage.
But I have not been riding as much around here this year due to the weather I have put on less than 1000 miles on it. I also am riding less now I will be 71 next month.

I've not ridden my trike much since I retired 3 weeks ago. Purchased a used 5th wheeler and parked it permanantly in an RV park, but all the access roads are 50 mph and up. My trike will do 58 cmph, but It's not happy at wot.I've heard several reports of 70-80 gps verified on the new TBX and it has a lot of storage so maybe I'll be able to get out there a little more when the new on gets here. The bobber in my profile pic was stolen with less than 100 miles on her. She was a 229cc and would only do about 50. I think everyone should own a hard tail springer at least once, but that girl was one rough riding heifer. The scooter doesn't have the cool factor, but it's OK for old people to wear sandals and socks and admit that scooters are fun. I've been lucky enough to have owned 2 Cushmans; one a 1947 and the other a Truckster. Cushman was the best ever made! I'm not a fan of cages.
