does any body know if any where sells just fake clear night riding lenses for jawbones? on ebay or otherwise, i've had a trawl but cant see any

my genuine photochromic lenses have given up the ghost, the layer of photochromic has come off in bit patches and little blotches on the left hand lense, so just after some clear cheapo lenses to replace for winter

Not massively cheap but Visionary Lenses on eBay do them. Take 1-2 weeks to get here from the states. Mine came at the weekend and seemed pretty good on first use. I got mine a bit cheaper than the BIN by waiting to win one of there auctions:

any other ideas, what are the yellow lenses like on the fake jawbones? any good for pitch black night riding at all?

cant find and fake clear ones, and could do with some pretty rapid so may have to get genuine!

Where's the best place for genuine ones? My m-frame lenses lasted forever. My jawbones seem to scratch just by looking at them.

Yellow lenses are great for dull days but no good at night. You def need a clear lens. Mate has some clear Fakeley Jawbones (lens and frame) which seem very good quality. Don't have a link, I'm afraid

My VL Jawbone lenses don't fit my Fakely Jawbones I use for commuting, so be careful.

Hi big_n_daft

If they are clear lenses for Jawbones, how much would you want for a set?

Cheers

The pukka Oakley ones are only about £20, is it worth the hassle?!

I'd be interested in a set of the clear and yellow lenses too, big n daft. I'm sure I read somewhere that the Oakley lenses don't quite fit the 'homage' jawbones.

Another request for the £20 clear vented lenses link please?
Cheapest I can find online (UK) is £39...

Ah no, as you were, looks like Jawbone clear lenses are the same as Iridium ones - how daft! Last time I bought some Radar lenses they were £25 or sommat, vastly cheaper than any of the tinted ones.

no worries njee...

have'nt you got a pair of photochromics like me? dont suppose you've noticed any of your layer come off have you? as mentioned above my left hand lense is covered in blobs and a few bigger blobs of missing photochromic covering when the sun light makes them go fully darkened 🙁

just hoping oakley will warranty them as they are not cheap at 95quid 🙁
