For the lens no. Use a small screwdriver like a flat watchmaker, you'll notice there is 2 little gaps at the bottom side of the lens where you can pry the lens out. The top bit is secured with spring loaded clips and you will feel the resistance. If you feel that you are going to damage something then best to take the fairing off and disconnect the wiring harness from the indicator before continuing. You'll see what I mean once its off.

Notice the 2 spring loaded clips in the colour photo.

New it will cost about £35 from motorworks.

The ones Im talking about are Fronts, I might have rears as well, But havent seen them for a while, I can have a dig around.

Money? Dunno, just the postage really, you can donate whatever your conscience says to your fav charity, how about that.

When you say lenses, what do you mean, just the rears then?

You can `pop` these off as mentioned earlier, but bear in mind that the plastic is 10 years old now and getting brittle, its better, if you can be bothered, to take the panels off and gently prise them out after, that way you get a better purchase on them and the metal lugs are less likey to snap the plastic there mounted on......believe me I know!... :roll:
