Well it looks online like it is square and flat. If this is true, maybe you can get a square piece of Plexiglas and "glue" it on with some silicone. A bead of silicone around the edge would seal it and glue it on at the same time.

I think your local window glass dealer sells it.

Go buy a cheap flashlight and use the plastic lens from that over the hole.

a quike fix , if you have a local scrapyard around , you may verywell find a cover close to your bike , or look for a newer Ford car , like a crown vic exc.. many newer ford cars have lexsand or plexyglass light covers , and they are easy to cut and mould with a tourch.

For glue i would use rear view mirror glue or of you wana be cheap and not wana spend the $5 for glue , get a glue gun or better yet take a electric solidering gun and melt the plastic together.

or may use a 2lt pop bottle and melt them 2 together ..

im sure there are better fixes out thier for it but thats my 2 cents worth.

if i new the size of it , maby a old skidoo one would fit , for i have many of them , idd let u have , for the cost of shipping only , if one them would fit.
