Neutral light color

[conbs]

Tried to find the answer through the search function, but couldn't even find one post. Hmmmmm.

Bill Silver says "Neutral light changed at CA72 1006900, CA77 102771...perhaps from red to blue."

Anybody have any further information on this? Checking specifically for CA77.

Red until sometime during '65-model run. Only ever seen red (in the flesh) or blue (in pics). Clear/green(ish) lenses have been 'spotted' but they're usually(?) a result of excess UV attack. Other, more experienced brethren may have other info.....

Thanks for the help Steve. I wasn't sure if he meant perhaps the change was at that number or if it was perhaps red to blue.

I have seen dozens of 1965 to 1967 Dreams, all with a blue neutral light. It's funny though, some of the lights have different shades of blue, I have a nice blue/green one myself.

All the early bikes came with the red lens then they were changed to a sort of green.
Both colors fade badly. .............lm

My lens is a rich ruby colour with a black collar... Its from '66 and it looks perfect still in terms of how the material has held up over the years however the centre of the pigment is slightly faded when the light is on. I like to think of it as character!
