Default Extra's

Use different len's than you, but learned, after about 6 months, after I bought the bike, to keep extra lens at home. Mine have 3 tangs , molded into the back of the lens, that snap into the housing, & for some reason one of the tangs will break off & won't be long, if I dont catch it, will pop out. I check them now, every so often. Vibration is all I can figure out , what causes the tang to break off.
Ride Safe,
Harold
