Hit a deep pothole doing about 40 today and apparently it caused my left rear blinker to disappear. Some sort of voodoo magic pothole I think. It looks like there was some bracketing holding it all together, can I replace just the blinker, or is there a bracket I am going to need as well? Heres a picture, like I said the entire blinker popped out, not just the lense. Also, the whole tailight situation back there seems really loose, is this normal for everyone else? I noticed it a while ago, like the fairings aren't held together very well?

Don't know , but I would like to know if an amber lens would fit a Gen 3 (1990). Don't mean to highjack, just curious.

pretty sure their secured w/ a screw thats accessed thru the hole below you missing turn signal, hopefully the mounting tab didn't break off as well.

I think the mounting tab did break off, I don't see anything in there for it to mount to. I 'll have to take a closer look.

Yes the amber lens will fit the 3rd Gen.

I had that happen to my left tail light too on my 93.  Broke the little mounting tab off.  Luckily, it held by the wire.  I ended up putting a little fiberglass over the broken tab area and then epoxied the light back in.  Cosmetically no visible damage.
