I have an '06, but they look the same.  I just ordered mine from a friend who owns a bike shop and apparently Parts Canada can get the aftermarket lenses from Clear Alternatives.  Mines on its way and can't wait!

I'm in London.  Here's the link for the one I have comming.

http://clearalternatives.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CA&Product_Code=CTL-0026-2&Category_Code=Ckear.GS

Surprisingly enough, the big chain stores like HUlly Gully & Inglis Cycle wouldn't get it for me.  One of the guys from OSR (Ontario Sport Riders) that I ride /deal with was able to order it for me.

I think after exchange & shipping it was around $80.

yeah.... Parts Canada doesn't actually carry the lens, they special order it from Clear Alternatives.  I figured its best that they do it becuase I wasn't sure about shipping and the brokerage/import fees that I'm always hearing about.  So I figured with the exchange rate, tax, adn shipping... 80 wasn't too extreme for a part that you can't find anywhere in Canada.
