tail light broken of drifter 800 and a question about oil change

[Gooseberrie]

Hello Andreas,
The taillight may not be available and the wings are part of the European housing but the lens still is for sale. For diagrams and finding part numbers (clicking on Info) use this link:

http://www.cmsnl.com/kawasaki-vn800c1-vn800-drifter-1999-europe-uk-fr-nr-sp_model12591/partslist

This parts shop in The Netherlands has diagrams for many other models. Their price is excl. VAT and handling costs and shipping so it may still be expensive like a lens for more then Euro 50.

Try google for these parts with part number 230251292 and lens 230261220

In The Netherlands I am getting these daily e-mail notifications of parts for sale here: http://www.advertentiezoeker.nl/?q=Kawasaki+Drifter&wg=datum&gzo=1067214 When you want to subscribe then click on your e-mail address and turn the X behind the search of choice into V. Good luck

its the european one i guess since it had the chrome thing on it and fell lost that one too on the highway should i buy the whole thing (taillight with its base)?

Yes, that's it. I've got the chrome stuff on ma-deuce, too...and I bought it here in Italy.

Andreas, maybe you should try again on Ebay: as far as I remember, I came across a red glass cover while I was surfin'... but now I just can't tell when it happened...
Just my 2 cents.

Unless you have the European light with the chrome wing thing on it....As you can see from the list, it fits a LOT of models
I change oil and filter every 3,000 miles. A bike that sits more than it's ridden should get changed more frequently

Hi guys once again need your valuable advice four questions from a rooky like me
1. my tail light (stop light the red glass) has broken any ideas where I can find a replacement?
2.Searched on eBay I found the complete tail light for a 1500 is it the same with 800cc?
3.should I contact Kawasaki perhaps they can sell me just the red glass since my base is in tacked?
4.About oil change every how many miles should i change the oil and filter I'm mostly a weekend driver?
Thanks Andreas
