Fading tail light lens?

<< < (5/5)

testa_di_formaggio:
Absent there being Asian repops now out there, CEV has been CEV. Both in photos are labeled as such. I think CEV is no longer stand alone. When they were, they were distributed by Bergamashi. Somewhere along the line, CEV was bought out by Zadi. And I'm pretty sure, Bergamaschi still distributes Zadi's products. And some at least, of the available CEV turn signals these days for that vintage, come boxed labeled Bergamaschi. All that said, there was a change in the rear lenses some years back. The big easy to see change, was that the side reflectors aren't there anymore. The earlier ones, like I have on a 75 T3 for example, the side reflectors are glued on like the rear. The later version (perhaps versions), only the rear is. You can clearly see that in those photos. My guess in all this is that the lenses are all CEV, and whatever changes in manufacturing or material used have them less prone to fading. Maybe this happened at one of those owner/management changes. Just the way it is.
