FatBob headlight lens

Good day....(not so much)

I picked up my 2012 FXDF FatBob last month. Went on a few rides, broke it in nicely....the wife likes it (thank god...lol).
Went for a leisurely (200+ mile) run with a few friends, Had a great time, love the bike

Now for the rant.

During the ride, a rock shattered the headlight lens. No Prob, Harley should carry a replacement.
Low and behold, Harley informs me that I have to buy a complete light assembly as the lens is not sold separately. What the !@#$#%
With the amount of trucks running the highways of Northern Alberta, I run the chance of a rock everytime I ride.

Question time.

Does anyone know of a twin headlight upgrade that provides a replaceable lens??

Some guys replace the light with a single lense. See if you can get a used one.

Get some protective film, like from xpel tech to stick on. I have used it on cars sucessfully.

I'd persue this with another source. I'm very surprised that the lens isn't available as a replacement part.
