I haven't looked for one but I plan on doing what many here have done and just adding some mesh to the inside of the oil cooler "frame" or whatever it's called with some double sided trim tape. Seems to do the job, looks decent and is inexpensive to do.

Yeah....definitely do it. It's cheap and saves your oil cooler from stones. If you looked at my voltage regulator and oil cooler surround after 20K miles, you'd see the issue.
I bashed out the dents in the oil cooler surround and painted it, then hit the voltage regulator with some wrinkle black paint. Looks better than new now.

Installed RSD 4 Prostep bars, black anodized riser bolts, grips, black levers and LED turn signals. The bars are originally made for cable, but I thought they would look great on the bob so a 21mm reamer and a couple hours of work was necessary. No cables or wires needed (thankfully)!

CR 480 cam kit with lifters, adjustable pushrods, inner bearing and gaskets, S&S tappet cuffs, 55mm HD intake manifold and the updated HD oil pump all arrived today!
Now I have to make the time to install everything. It's about time for a power bump and I can't wait to feel the difference!

Ah, awesome, thanks - great picture - was looking for one of those 
I guess the video I saw of the guy fitting cruise control showed ports that he unplugged before he showed them.
I guess I have to dig around and look and see if I can can split the port into which the USB plugs into (on the inside) with this: https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...ension-harness
So that I can have the USB (to charge my phone if needed) and the GPS wired.
Thank you for your help and the great pics
