Daze, I found the remnants of the goggle replacement lenses. The name is Spy Optic. Part number is #AMXO5. It is .030" thick and clear. The heat controls suprised me as all other lenses were hard plastic. My old lenses were yellowed with age, smoke etc. All I did was lay the old over the new, traced it with a fine line Sharpie and cut it out with scissors. I don't have any pics, BUT, I'm sending you a piece in the mail for your personal inspection and scrutiny, yours to keep and free of charge. Ya can't beat that. As I said separating the heat controls is a pain, but what I did was slowly file the bucked end of the retainer post to reduce the diameter so I could pry it apart. I did break one post. For re-assembly, I drilled post with a 1/16th(like a small counter sink) and spread it with a center punch. Don't hit it too hard though. Probably a small dab of epoxy wouldn't hurt either. Hope this helps, and by the way, if you go back to my May 27,09 post look at the pics of the light blue buckets that dash lights etc. plug into. I repainted mine with Krylon gloss Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint, p/n 51512. It's so close to the same and who else is going to look anyway. Reflectabality(my word) seems to be OK. See Ya, Don
