FDPP #3 Topic is solved

YYC850 needs corner lamp assemblies for his 95 850. Location: Calgary.

I own a 95 850 and am looking for the front corner lamp assemblies. Really only need the plastic lenses and the main housing. Don’t need the black bulb holder or springs. Most important is that the lenses are not cracked or broken. I’m located in Calgary and can travel to you. Don’t have much cash but would like to compensate you somehow. Please text me images of the lenses if you have them at 587-968-9818 at your convenience. Thanks so much!

I am fairly sure I have a random 850 turn signal, but not sure which side. Problem is it is under a pile of stuff in a box in storage for probably another 2 months while the garage is being built.

Neil.

Hey Neil,
Greatly appreciate you letting me know that there is a chance you’ve got an assembly tucked away somewhere. Hearing that it’s in a position that isn’t exactly super accessible is a bummer but none the less I do appreciate you sharing the current situation with me. Should the stars align and you gain access to the light please advise me if you don’t mind. I’ll keep you posted with the status of my situation as well just so we’re on the same page.
Thanks again partner, hope all goes well with the garage build! (( PS I’m just SLIGHTLY jealous of you getting that done hah, but big congrats my friend. Hope to hear from you soon )) Would love to see some final build pictures when it’s all done! Bye for now Neil, take care!

Anyone in Canada near a pick and pull/junkyard please try harvest.

I have them but shipping to Canada via parcel costs more than the parts.

YYC850 -- I haven't heard any resolution to this, so I'm checking with you before I run it farther up the flagpole.

A fine gentleman (mkc1) has contacted me and looks like he will be sending a couple lenses my way.
I appreciate you checking in on the status of my search and can’t thank you enough for putting this project into action.

YYC thanks for looping in. Let us know if there are any problems with shipping or getting those on. They're pretty easy as you know.

Marking this solved.

mkc1, you're awesome. I made your account MVS Contributor. Let me know if you don't want it for whatever reason. (Every so often a donor or DIY writeup author refuses it, which is completely ok.)

Thanks! I intended to post a follow-up saying I'd sent 'em but didn't get around to it. Fortunately YYC850 did. I never knew the front corner lamp assemblies were attached with springs. Interesting design.

Hey Guys, apologize for the delayed posting but wanted to give a shout out to mkc1 once again for the part he played and the time he set aside just so a stranger(myself) who lives on the opposite side of the country, could finally obtain a couple corner lamps for his 850 and get it back on the road! So thank you very much. And of course a huge thanks to matthew1. Without him none of this would be possible. Conjuring up an idea that is completely selfless and asking that of anyone who chooses to be part of the movement is just a wonderful thing to be part of.
Anyway, I could keep rambling on but I’ll finish off now, just wanted to inform the parties involved with this matter that I received the corner lamps a couple days ago and can’t wait to get them on the car! Thanks again my friends!
