I bought a couple of used, rear light lenses a while ago; one got used on my piece of "wall-art" and I'm about to use the other for a little lighting experiment. When I put the lense next to the originals, which have been adorning Murf's backside since 1969, I can see they are a lot different.
I don't know if the Aric make is an aftermarket product or possibly standard fitment after a certain date..."La Guida" definitely won't go into that detail. I prefer the look of my originals; having said that, part of the charm (for me only, I suspect) is that they are not shiny and defined, perhaps worn through age? The lense differences are obvious. Less obvious is that the Altissimo has a much better integrated reflector, whereas the Aric is simply bonded on.
